KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan May 16, 2009 Pitch black, very tall fine head. Light aroma, burnt well, coffee, roasted malt, something smoked in there too. Like beef jerky. Quite smokey, slightly roasted flavor. Sweet, a bit of roasted bitterness, and dry roasted malt, smoke, and a bit of hops in the finish. This is really good, unlike any other stout I have tried. Very nice, strong, sweet, smoky stout. A little too sweet, is my only complaint. armando629 (954), Budapest, Hungary May 13, 2009 Wow, what a surprise! Delicious deep brown body with a superb foamy and creamy beige-light brown lacing head. Fantastic aroma with vanilla, chocolate, herbal notes of hop, some dried plum. Delicios. Smooth mouthfeel with the chocolate again, fine vanilla, some sweet coffee, nuts and honey. Creamy palate. Balanced, fantastic and exciting one. Please more beers like this!!! morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA May 7, 2009 12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, North Carolina. Beer pours a nice dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with some cocoa and coffee notes. Taste is rocking, it matches up with the aroma and the finish is very clean. The alcohol is hidden very well in this beer. This was a pleasure to drink. dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA May 4, 2009 Pours a nice black with thin white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, slight coffee, and an ever so slight black liquorice. Flavor is very similar, but very smooth and easy to drink. Flavor also has hints of yeast and nuts. Overall very nice. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA May 1, 2009 (bottle). Pours a black color. Medium size tan head. Burnt malt aroma. Burnt malt and coffee taste. Smooth finish.
