Nice stout, almost black in colour. Aroma is roasted coffee, malts and brown sugar. taste is a little peppery with hints of coffee and hops. finale is tastefull and shows some Alc.

Bottle from 2002. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty caramel and chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate and caramel flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

33cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Black with ample lasting creamy tan head. Aroma is roasted sweet malt, notes of chocolate, coffee. Flavor is strong roasted malt, bittersweet. Creamy texture. Lasting bitter finish. Good beer.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass better. Black as the night, creamy brown head, lasting. Starts strong and malty, also quite dry, more and more woody, notes of liqourice, also a bit smoky. Finish a bit unbalanced. Looks better than it tastes.

Black body with good size tan head. Some smooth milky coffee in the aroma with some soft dried fruit late. Taste is lovely but I am partial to dark beers, chocolate a little liquorice and dark fruits again.

Bottle @ Mallaskukko. Pitch black, fluffy tanned head with tight lacing. Nose has lots of raisins, metal, hint of tar, not really too pleasant. Flavor is raisins, loads of molasses, tar, burned malts, hint of smoke, salmiak and coal. Almost full bodied, strong and spritzy carbonation, a tad oily palate. Like Guinness concentrate, really burned and unbalanced.

Black with reddish tints. Cream colored head that leaves great lacing. Smell and taste are smokey with some dark fruits and caramel. I like this better than the american version of guinness. Thank you luxembourg city!
