Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Black with a red hued edge and a large creamy beige head. Heavy roasted, with heavy salty baconish barbecue smokey notes. Heavy bodied with smooth mouthfeel and quite dry. Highly overrated i.m.o.

This was a jet black beer with a lot of promise. Weak in flavors though and not much to behold.

I got this one from the LCBO as well as from DOTW in Luzern. Pours jet black with light brown creamy head. Nose is heavy on espresso and prunes. Body is full and silky, with huge flavours of smokey roasted coffee. Finish has a nice lasting bitterness. A great beer!

Bouteille (Sinha stout 08/2008). Couleur noire opaque, mousse forme un lacet qui persiste. Arôme chocolaté, légèrement torréfié, cassonade. Goût complexe torréfié, très sucré, arrière goût torréfié, finale d’alcool très longue, mais pas trop forte. Corps moyen-mince et bien atténué, sèche, effervescence moyenne. Très équilibré, je suis surpris par cette bière.

Poured from a 330 ml bottle a very dark brown with a nice, fully chocolate colored head. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. The flavor was very good and head the alcohol well. Roasted malts and the chocolate really stood out.

This looks absolutely beautiful. Pitch black body, with a foamy toffee coloured head, which cleared up to leave lacing of the same colour. Nice espresso and malt aroma The flavour packs a punch of coffee, chocolate, and perhaps licorice. The finish is long and warming. A great beer.

Had this beer on 4/11/2001. Aroma is slightly metallic with light roasted back tones. Color is a solid black with light carbonation and head. Taste is roasted, toasted and dry. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a sharp feel. Finish is dry with a mild bitterness that comes from nicely roasted malts and ends clean. It’s not bad but also it’s not all that good.
