| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2009 Flaske. Sødlig duft på en mørkebrun øl. Ristet malt er tydelig, men igen på en sødlig måde. Fin øl som er en smule bedre end dens mindre stærke fætter. jeverszeuge (183), Germany
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 25, 2009 ersma: ein legendäres bier, das weltweit gebraut und getrunken wird. meines kommt aus irland.
typische, schwarz-braune farbe, die nur darum minimal durchscheinend ist, weil das bier im pils-glas steckt (0.33 l im original pint-glas sähe albern aus). ein berg schaum, der bräunlich daherkommt, aber wesentlich grober ist als beim draught. dazu wird er beim gemächlichen absacken sehr grob und hinterlässt lücken.
sehr herber, würziger geruch mit röst- und kaffe-aromen. antrunk extrem würzig und aromatisch: röstmalz, bittere, kaffee, schoko, kirsche - alles drin. alkohol schlägt leicht durch. die mitte ist sehr herb und würzig. malz wird im hintergrund schmeckbar. im abgang likörartig-alkoholisch. wesentlich milder und malziger als zuvor. bittere im hintergrund. insgesamt unglaublich geschmacksintensiv und abwechslungsreich, schmeckt wie stout-konzentrat. allein der schmeckbare alkohol stört etwas. das bier unterstreicht mal wieder meine erfahrung, dass von der insel hervorragende biere kommen.
hauseigene flasche mit geprägter harfe am halsansatz. etiketten sind wie immer gestaltet, also durchweg gut.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Bottle, pours black with a tan head. Aromas of roasted malt and light coffee. Flavors are more bitter malt and light alcohol. Thick mouthfeel. grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Pours black with a large fluffy brown head that leaves its mark on the glass as it dissipates. Has an aroma of wood, smoke, and roast. Flavor is a little watery still but an immense improvement over the standard guinness products. This is actually quite enjoyable since I started trying different brews with guinness, I love that malty, woody, smoky, coffee flavor of guinness. This brew is all of the flavor that makes regular guiness good, but with more intensity that makes this brew great. A nice strong borderline session brew. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Poopty peupty pants. Every single aspect of this brew, be it aroma, flavor, or appearance has poop in it. There are other aspects, but the initial adjective before those aspects is poopy. Not good. Only thing extra about this brew is the poop. Leighton (302), New York, New York, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 16, 2009 This is wildly good. Has the consistency of pitch. Almost. And the color of is darker than black. Yes, darker. We have the coffee-brown head, just as rich as ever. Taste is powerful: coffee, chocolate, soil. It’s really good. cab (863), Denmark

Fantastic aroma; sharp fresh dough, taste is sweet, roasted malts, some sour creamy tone, coffee/chocolate, . Very flavorfull and a thick mouthful. bobinlondon (843), Harrow, Greater London, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2009 Bottle from local off licence. Almost black with a tan head. Considering the bland offerings that standard strength brews represent, this is a very good drink indeed. A real explosion of roasted flavours and warming alcolol without the cloying sweetness of many similar strength stouts.
