Jamaica Stout

Brewed by Big City Brewing Company

Bottled. Opaque black, beige head. Obvious rum aroma. Sweetish with near full body and thick mouthfeel. There are notes of coffee, chocolate and fruit, but rum completely dominates. No bitterness.

Bottle @ OMH-tasting
Sharp chemical aroma. Taste of cheap chocolate and rum. Slightly alcoholic with a sharp aftertaste and no bitterness.

Pitch black with a quickly diminishing creamy tan head. Aroma is very rich choloaty goodness. Not too bitter, or too sweet. The flavor and palate is silky smooth. A good amount of roast that offsets the delicious chocolate. This is only 61 percent? are you serious. This is a delicious beer.

Bottle... Dark brown, almost black, ale with a small, creamy, light brown head. The aroma is of milk chocolate and alcohol. The flavor is decently balanced and chocolatey. Medium sweet, lightly bitter and boozy. Medium-bodied and a little silky with light carbonation. Finishes lightly tart, grassy and astringent. Thanks to DarkElf for the bottle!

Bottle. Black colour with a medium baige head. Light roasted malty, chocolate, licorice aroma and a sweet light roasted, chocolate, Licorice, light alcoholic taste. Medium body with a light dry licorice finish.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks mon!). Poured a dark black with an averaged sized light brown head. Aromas of chocolate, licorice, molasses, caramel, and dark fruits. Lighter tastes of chocolate, dark fruits and roasted malts. Tastes a little bit of a let down compared to the nice aroma. Creamy body that was on the thin side.

Bottled. Black coloured with a medium sized fast disappearing head. Roasted aroma with notes of dried fruits and chocolate. Flavour of fried fruits and chocolate with notes of corn.

Not bad, but mine was served cold and this might have taken away from it a bit. notes of the usual stuff - chicory, licorice, dark cocoa - but overall a bit uninspired and disappointing.
