light coke color with very small tan head. aroma is amazingly sweet with strong wine and chocolate aromas. medium body and very light carbonation. tastes of molasses, earth chocolate, and plums with light bitterness smoke and coffee. amazingly smooth and creamy and has an almost lager-like crispness to it. very refreshing hides the 8% very well

Bottle 33cl. I was very impressed by this stout! Dark brown with a mocha colored head. Some roasted malt, rich fruits, plums, coffee, vanilla, port-like elements. Caramel and lovely dark chocolate characteristics. Some very enjoyable bitterness. Nice roasted malt, a bit peaty, smoky. Remarkable sweetness, some sugar cane in the ingredients. Some gluey, woody elements. Extremley complex. Very rich. Excellent finish. It surely doesn’ t get much better than this.. A wonderful stout!

Sort cremet øl, med tykt lag skum. Duften er karamel/chokolade/kaffe/brænd. Smagen er meget fyldig, og særdeles afrundet. Anelse lakrids Absolut den bedste stout jeg har smagt til dato.

Very good...looks like a typical Guinness without the head. A sweeter taste with some coffee and chocolate flavor. Some alcohol in there as well. I like it, but these high alcohol stouts all taste alike to me!!

This one packs some punch. Big bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee and malty sweetness. All blending very well, with a creamy mouthfeel and light to moderate carbonation. A pleasant dry and mouth puckering finish is very welcome. This just goes down so smooth, so quick at 8% and less than $2 a bottle.....what’s not to like? A fantastic stout.

A very nice stout, full of chocolate, raisins, rosted malts and dry fruits. Its creamy texture, excellent lacing and the 8 % abv make this a fantastic winter warmer. Making south asia very proud.

330ml bottle. Pours very dark with a nice brown head and good lacing on the glass. Aromas of bitter chocolate, roasty coffee, malt and some caramel. Sweet taste with much the same flavour as the aroma. Medium body but does have a bit of a watery feel to it. My first foreign stout and it was a good one.
