Bottle: First rating of 2007. Dark brown to black pour with a medium tan head. Aroma, chocolate, toffee, rye, and some earthy notes. Flavor, earthy, chocolate, coffee, some some roasty bitterness on the finish. This is surprisingly good, wasn’t expecting much from it, but I like it.

Bottle from World Market. Lovely black coloring with ruby outlines. Slightly sweet oily aroma. Flavor is quite sweet up front. Thick and oily. Roasted maltiness with a bit of dark fruits and raisins. Very easy drinking. Light alcohol kick at the end.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with a large tan head that faded by mid-glass and left light lacing. Very pleasant aroma of butterscotch, dates, roasted malt and chocolate. Less flavorful than the aroma would suggest with roasted malt, butterscotch and brandy all present. There is a sizeable alcohol burn at the finish. Medium bodied.

Nice dark brown color with a large brown head that lasted for a long time then faded slowly to a nice bubbly lace.Malty,caramel aroma with a nice roasty side and some mild hops coming through.Nice sweet malty flavor with a slight smoky side and a nice roasty side as well.Over all i’d have to say probably the best Foreign Stout i’ve ever had sofar.More then worth trying again and again.

12 oz bottle. Black pour with a medium light brown head. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit, caramel, light chalky notes. Taste is chocolate, dark fruit, light smoke, lightly astringent, with a smooth finish. Medium bodied, and the carbonation was medium.

bottle-pours black with a fizzy tan head with lots of different sized bubbles. an interesting aroma of roasted grains, slightly oxidized malt, light smoke, roast, and aged cheddar cheese. nice velvety chocolate notes with a tart finish of light roast and baking chocolate. some nice tart sweetness in there! A truely unique beer that im very happy to have stumbled upon. As the beer warmed, some oaky/woody tones came out in both the aroma and finish. Excellent!
