Thick opaque black with tan head. Molasses aroma is super sweet. Soft carbonation but thick mouthfeel. Sweet, and dessert-like. Approachable and straightforward and nice.

62,5 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Very dark muddy brown colour with a little head. Smooth aroma of alcohol, roastedness and hints of chocolate. Nice smooth but alcoholic flavour very light roastedness and ends up with a dry touch.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 10 Oct 2007) Black colour with frothy, brown head. Malty, slightly burnt nose with liquorice, chocolate and soy sauce. Slightly vinous and rather sweet. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, soy sauce and liquorice. Rather sweet, medium to full body. Powerful but smooth. Warming, tasty and very nice.

The six pack of this I bought was in such bad shape, that it looked like it FLOATED here from Sri Lanka. But anyway......this has a deep, dark, black appearance and an aroma filled with dates, raisins, brown sugar and coffee. This is silky-smooth and chewy. It tastes like licorice, coffee, chocolate and currants. There is a lot of roastiness, bording on a smokey flavor. This leaves a tingly, enjoyable, alcoholic feeling on the tongue. A very pleasant surprise.

The aroma is sweet with some off aroma but it’s not so strong as to make it undrinkable. There is also roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The appearance is dark brown with a small tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. I am not one of those that think this is a great stout but it’s decent.

A first for me a ’Tropical Stout’, lighter in body and not so harsch. Great nose, vanilla, chocolate, and a bit of the hops at the finish. Quite good and a 8.0 ABV, mild but pleasing.

A superior stout. Slightly olivine aroma, with good stout character. Flavor was nicely roasty, bitter, balanced and the palate was stellar. Fine, fine stout.
