(Bottle 27,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Apparently a version made in Trinidad & Tobago. Pours completely opaque black with a light brown head. Sweetish, roasted aroma. Medium body with sweetish, roasted malt accents and a vague, underlying burned accent. Some bitterness in the finish. 080707

27.5 cL bottle produced in Trinidad and Tobago. Pours black with a huge brown, creamy and crispy head. Aroma is coffee and sugar which can be smelled clearly while the glass stands on the table. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is dominantly sweet, but has bread and coffee notes. Slight bitterness in the finish. Strange balance, I guess it is sweeter in this version than the one in Boston. I’m hoping I can do the comparison when I get there.

Bottled (thanks Papsoe!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, some wood and a bit of chocolate. Flavour is roasted malts, coffee, wood, licorace and chocolate. Aftertaste is also a lot of chocolate. A really pleasant one.

St. Kitts
Brewed by Carib. Dark brown with a reasonably thick light brown head. Smells a bit lagerish, and a little bit roasty. Good creamy mf, light roast that gets more acrid and bitter as it goes. Decent, with some "foreign" character but the charred notes and low abv place it more as a regular stout. 4-5-7-3-13=3.2

USA
Brewed by Sam Adams. Very dark reddish-brown. Medium brown head. Fudgey, crackery aroma with a strong vanilla accent component...like store brand ice cream that’s been sitting in the freezer a shade too long. Soft, smooth body. Roasty notes of Taiwanese iced coffee . Sweet, but not simple nor boring. Mix of milkiness, smoothness and firm roast. This adds a bit of fudgy chocolate. Solid brew...no complaints. 7-4-8-4-16 = 3.9

Oily black body with hint of ruby; small brown head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is rich, slightly burnt coffee, complemented by sweet caramel and some milk chocolate. Taste is thick sugar-sweetened coffee with somewhat mocha undertones – too sweet for me to fully enjoy. Aftertaste is coffee that’s minimally burnt.

Bottled
Opaque black, good expresso head. Roasted malty, sweetish nose (milk chocolate). Quite sweet: sugary with cold coffee flavor. Some cold coffee also in the flavor. I am not a big fan of sweet stouts.
