A good foreign stout, not much more than that. Some mocha/coffee flavors. Not that complex, but very drinkable for a session or two.

Very nice stout which I could drink all day every day without a problem. Lots of mocha in the aroma in flavor. Black of course with a brown head and good lace.

Dark black, tan head, tan lacing. The nose is rich, nutty roast, peanuts, soy sauce and alcohol. Light roast and some coffee/chocolate notes and an overall good tastiness to it.

Entirely opaque black colour. Small, diminishing head. Woody, slightly fruity, aroma. Lots of licorice in the flavour - like liquid Pontefract cakes. Pruney fruity and nuts too, with chocolate in the background. Rich texture. Becomes progressively bitter and dry, finishing sweet and sour. Plenty of backbone and complexity. Very nice. And that’s another country ticked off. 330ml bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk. BBE 31July 2004.

Bottle. Poured black with a moderate brown head that diminished slolwly. Complex roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Full well balanced flavor with medium finish. Good not great.

As black as night! Dry mouthfeel with liqourice tang. Good roast notes and not too sweet. Very nice.

Bottled. A big black beer with a quickly dissipating off-white head. The aroma is quite sweet for a stout with some perfumy notes. The taste is also sweet but there are good licquorice notes. A very tasty clean beer.

Bottle. Pours a black colour with a huge longlasting tan head. Sweet malty roasted aroma with some hints of chocolate. Sweet roasted malty flavor with some hints of coffee and chocolate. Warming malty finish.
