Feb 24, 2008 Updated: Apr 8, 2009Aroma is of toasted malts with some molasses, very light hops hops with vanilla and something slightly sour. Pours with a largish, creamy, light brown head with some lacing. Full retention. Extra dark brown body. Taste is watery up front with burnt coffee out back with a bit of breadyness. Very dry. Too fizzy.

Feb 22, 2008 Great stout that has withstood the tests of time. Burnt flavor with chocolate and coffee notes. Very creamy texture. I like it much better than the draught version.

Feb 20, 2008 I will say one thing. I am a Guinness man. This brew has a more hoppier taste to it and has a slight after taste on the palate. Serve ice cold and be sure to pour in to a chilled pilsner glass. Has a wonderful taste.

Feb 18, 2008 Has a slight burnt taste along with hidden hop tastes and a good amount of grain. Goes down smooth and is pretty wonderful. Real creamy. Would buy again.

Feb 14, 2008 22. Pours black, but not inkily so, with a thin sudsy tan head. Sharp fusel and aluminum notes cut through an otherwise pleasant roasty and herbally hoppy nose. Medium body, a bit creamy. Harshly ashy with some roast on the mid-palate. Not much of a beer, especially not compared to the motherland version of the Extra Stout. Meh.

12-oz. Thanks, whoever left this in the work fridge for over a week! Pours deep black with a thick, rocky light tan head. Smells roasty and, believe it or not, a tiny bit c-hoppy. This actually ends up being so thoroughly like beer in every way that you can’t believe the name you see on the label. Moderately aggressive attack; decently full body and a bit of carb, plus some rather assertive flavors. Roast, chocolate, a bit of coffee, some sour chalk. Noble/c-hop there at the finish. All subdued, not all positive, but not unlike many rather better stouts in several ways. It’s really a pleasant surprise how much better this beer is than the "Draught."

Feb 13, 2008 Bouteille 341 ml. Couleur noire avec des reflet violets. Mousse présente qui reste. Au nez des effluves de crème sûre, de toast rôties et de caramel brulé. En bouche le corps est assez mince. Le goût est semblable au nez, c’est-à-dire trempette aix légumes et crème sûre, orge rôti et pour terminer un peu de caramel et de café. À noter, je l’ai bue froide et je me demande si cette bière n’était pas passer date, car elle a une bien meilleure note que je lui accorde.
