Pours black, with a creamy, frothy light brown head. Smells of rich caramel and toffee cream, with some molasses and dark fruit pushing through. Some graham cracker in there as well. The flavor was also pretty sweet with lots of that toffee cream noticeable. I liked the sweet graham cracker flavors of this brew. Nice rich crisp palate, with solid carbonation. Alcohol wasnt intense, but added a nice bite to it. Very nice foreign stout.

This is a nice, full-bodied stout. Many flavors hit the palate: cherries, grapes, chocolate, and a malty caramel.

Black with a fluffy disappearing tan head. Strong roasted aroma, sweet coffee, bitter cocoa, a bit ethilic that disappear quickly. Medium bodied, flavourful, starting with a firm roast maltiness to a bitter dry lingering end. A very good stout.

330ml bottle bought at GBBF and consumed at a hotel room in Earls Court. Opaque, and dark as the night. Huge, brownish bubbling head with satisfying duration, leaving nice laceworks on the glass. Woody, dark malts in aroma. Complex flavoured with initial spicy, roasted malt followed by sweet prunes and finishing with a dry bitter touch. Maybe a bit overpowering in the mouth (08.08.2008)

Bottle.
Dark oily black, thick tan head, minimal lacing.
Sweet malty aroma with molassas, liquorice, and chocolate. Light prune note as well.
Flavors are sweet molasses, roasty malts, prune and light chocolate.
Finish is ever so slightly dry. Just enough to balance it out and keep it from becoming cloying.
Alcohol is barely noticeable. At time it gets a little hot, but overall it is hidden well.
