Black. Has a light-brown head, fully lasting. Aroma of sweet caramel. Good flavor, heavy bitter. Medium to full body, dry, creamy texture. Soft carbonation. Too big a difference between the sweet caramel aroma and the heavy bitter flavor.

Bottle. Black colour with a brown head. Aroma: Roastiness, slight sourishness, cream, dried fruits, meat, coffee. Taste: Roastiness, sligthly sourish, coffee, dried fruits, sweetness, meat, a bit metallic, hop bitterness. This is what Guinness should taste like. I wish you could buy this one at systembolaget.

Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Coffee and roast malt aromas dominate, with caramel and dark chocolate notes and a hint of alcohol on the nose. Roasted malt and coffee flavours hit immediately, moving though to the sweeter characters of caramel, dark chocolate and an almost syrupy alcohol taste. The finish is very bitter, however, with burnt malt and a smokey finish giving the beer a real kick to end. Unfortunately, the aftertaste is a bit unpleasant, with the mix of alcohol and bitter malt leaving a syrupy-burnt flavour lingering for quite some time. A lot of flavour and a smooth texture make this stout very enjoyable and surprising, the aftertaste just leaves a bad impression.

Black with red-brown highlights, and a disappearing tan head. Delicious aroma of dark caramel, toffee, licorice, prunes and figs, with a vineous alcohol note, and a touch of diacetyl. The flavour has sweet notes of toffee and dried fruits, some roasted malt and a solid hop bitterness. The alcohol is there, but not quite annoying.
