Apr 16, 2007 Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Bottle provided by csbosox, thanks Chris! I had wanted to try this one for awhile, and I pretty much begged Chris to pull it out of his cellar. I owe you for this one! Pour is black, with very thin tan head. Aroma is boozy, with some roast coming through. Taste is sour, with a bunch of carbonation, which surprised me after the pour. Throughout the taste, this one is hot alcohol. The finish has some tangy sweetness. A very unique brew, this one had a flavor profile I hadn’t seen before.

Apr 3, 2007 Bottle: Extremely dark brown pour with a thick and creamy light brown head. The lacing is solid and thick. Aroma is decent with lots of chocolate syrup and licorice. The body is fairly creamy. Has subtle dark chocolate flavors upfront. Middle develops lots of licorice and salty flavors. Some metallic flavors are evident as well, leading to a roasty, bitter and salty finish. Overall it’s extremely salty, and not too quaffable.

Mar 30, 2007 pours the typical black with khaki head. aroma roast, expresso, black currant, and a hint cocoa. taste is much the same with a hint of the guiness tang and bit spice to the finish. this is better and more bold than the extra available in the states.

Had a few bottles of this while cruising on Royal Caribbean to and from the Bahamas.
This beer immediately struck me as being different than the Guinness Extra Stout that I drink here in the States. There was more of a scotch like oaky-ness, vanilla, and rich robust coffee bitterness on the finish. Besides that, the ABV was noticeably higher… like said, kind of a punchy scotch ABV.
Overall, I prefer this to my domestic version.

Feb 28, 2007 Flavor is stronger than that of the draught...head not as cool looking..not as creamy and such. Dark look, well-rounded palate. tiny bit of bitterness, but nothing too bad
