625ml bottle. Pours black with a thick, two fingerwidth, creamy, mocha colored head. Dissipates extremely slow and remains very lacy. Aroma of lightly roasted chocolate malts, some mocha coffee, a dash of sweet dried fruits, and a hint of hoppiness. Very creamy palate with a dry and light bitter finish/linger. Flavor is first roasty and mocha, then moves to a light sweet fruit/plum/raisin, then finishes milky and chocolatey with a licorice kick. Overall, a surprisingly good stout! Very creamy, milky, and balanced. Glad I saw it burried on the shelf at only $3.

Bottle. Dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, coffee and smoke. Sweet malty base with a bitterness more from roasted grains not hops, alcohol is well hidden. Full body with a creamy smooth mouth feel. This is a very good beer and for the price can’t be beat. I wish I could get this locally, would be great for an evening when an Imperial Stout is just too much.

Pours black with a thick brown head. Great aroma of milk chocolate, hazelnut, cherry, and roast. Taste is much the same- Sweet chocolate, some coffee, slight alcohol and nut. Very smooth and creamy and has just enough bitter roast to balance the sweetness well, but is slightly sticky.

Poured black into a snifter with a medium dark cream head. No lacing. Smell is of coffee, bakers chocolate, and toffee. Taste is also of these with burnt malt. Really good stout with a thick body and mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours straight black with a light-brown head that leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma has liquorice, coffee and chocolate at the front with a touch of berries in the back. Flavour is very similar, with a bit of smokiness thrown in and a creamy framework. Mouthfeel is slightly thinner than expected but not exactly watery, and the creaminess doesn’t really come through on the palate. An exceptionally fine stout all the same.

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