Poured a dark brown, almost black, with a nice finger of cream-colored head.
Smells of dark malts and chocolates.
The taste was chocolate, coffee, and dark malts. Really good.
Heavy and creamy in the mouth, very smooth.
Definately goes down smooth, I could have downed a few more of these if I wasn’t just sampling.
Serving type: on-tap

Oct 8, 2008 Bottled, this beer pours thick black, with a light brown medium head. Great aroma: coffee, with cream and sugar. If there is such a thing as a breakfast beer, this is it. It has a very rich flavor: mocha, toffee, hops. It is not my favorite stout, but it is very nice - worth a second - but you may want to save room - it is very filling.

Oct 8, 2008 Old-ish bottle. The aroma is soft, malty, biscuity, caramel, quite sweet for a stout. The flavour is smooth and creamy, very nice. The beer has no real defining character (it may have lost it with age/ transit), but it is a pleasant English stout; not too sweet, not too malty.

does not count  Oct 5, 2008 Could this be the perfect beer? I couldn’t rate the apperance higher because I drank it from the bottle. I sure tasted like it looked good :-)
