1st rating of 2009! Very dark brown poor with a thick frothy head that quickly dissipated. Aromas of chocolate, hints of coffee, sea salt?... Very very faint fruity aromas... Medium body, creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Added licorice flavors. Overall a nice smooth dry stout to start the year off on the right foot. Here’s to many more ratings in 2009! Cheers!

half liter bottle. Says this is a stout suitable for quaffing with oyster, so ic contains no oyster or oyster shell. Seems pointless when there are plently of dry stouts around to enjoy with oysters. Pours a deep dark ebony with small ruby highlights when held to light. Decent 2 finger mocha cap does not last long and weakly laces the glass. Very faint nose for a stout, some coffee a bit of charred husk and light grassiness. Mild easy to take stout with a toasty body and good balance between malts and hop. Dry but not aggressively bitter. Definitely a good swig with affinity to wash down shellfish. I suspect the toasty character and what little body this stout has, comes from the toasted flaked wheat they bulk up the body with, without that this would be more like a porter in body.

A bottle from local K-Market. Pale brown head. Roasted malty taste. Dark black colour. Hints of coffee and chocolate in the taste. Soft taste.

Pours a dark brown with a quickly diminishing tan head. The aroma is lightly fruity, with notes of sea water, strange. The flavour has weak game for a stout, sort of fruity, really not roastiness to be had in this beverage. Mouth feel is watery. It is kind of refreshing though, it gets point for drinkability.
