Jan 8, 2009 Bottle (Jamaican version) in Georgetown Barbados. Almost black brown with a large tan head. Smells of dark roasted malt, molasses, coffee and a note of sweet fruit.. Tastes as smells with cocoa overtone.and a fairly predominant dry/sour character, A good quality stout with some oomph to it, Glad I found it.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, Mabel, and GregClow, courtesy of Blankboy. Slightly roasty, sweet aroma. Black, hardly any head. Sour but in a good way - sour and roasty together make for a tasty offering. Tangy, especially in finish. Good, different.

Aug 13, 2008 [1520-20080711] 275mL bottle. Candied figs and caramelized evergreen-esque molasses aroma. Hazy, dark brown red-hued body with a quick tan foam. Syrupy molasses and toast malt flavour has a little sourness. Medium-full body. Interesting to try but it’s not to my liking, and as someone put it: "it tastes like lemons... it’s gross!"

Jul 30, 2008 300 ml bottle from garthicus; Thanks Al; says "BREWED UNDER LICENCE IN KENYA BY KENYA BREWERIES"; Nose of oats; burnt malt, light molasses, and a roasty molassesy note. Black with a big, glass-lacing tan head; Flavor has pepperiness, raosted coffee, chocolate, and mild hop bitterness: Better than the NA version but not as good as the Irish FES!

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle (275ml), Jamaican version. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a large diminishing frothy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and llightly burnt caramel or toffee. Flavour’s quite roasty and dry with a hint of "bottle", some toffee and hops -- a bit of a burnt quality to it too. Medium bodied. Significantly different then the Guinness we get here and pretty good stuff.

Jul 15, 2008 2008-07-11. Black body with a good sized brown head that fades. Quite sweet at first, interesting character to the malty roast in the aroma. Flavour is oddly tangy, touch of sourness in the flavour? Sweet malt undertones. (6+) Average palate. Okay.Jamaican Version. Bottle shared by Blankboy

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle on Honeymoon in Jamaica: Poured a black color with a tan head. Aroma was roasted chocolate malts with hints of coffee. The flavor was bitter, malty with hints of chocolate, caramel and coffee. The roasted malts stand out strong. Overall, a tasty brew.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle in St. Lucia. I like this one a lot more than the "standard" Guinness you typically see in the US. Black with a soft, tan head. Rich malty aroma with coffee and smokiness. Tastes are dark chocolate, fruit, and coffee. Very smooth and easy to drink. Leaves the mouth sticky.
