(330 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours very dark brown with ruby-amber highlights. Two fingers of khaki head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee - unremarkable really. Smooth mouthfeel, medium-full, a bit fizzy. Flavor of chocolate and coffee, leaning more toward coffee and almost coffee syrup-like. Medium bitter and light hint of grassiness. OK, not really any big deal but good if you like concentated coffee flavor.

Nov 28, 2009 $5.50 for 11.2 oz bottle. This stout had potential: I like the aroma, appearance, and palate, but severely lacking in the taste department. I understand not every stout has to have a in-your-face body, but I needed more from this--especially from a espresso / coffee stout. Yes, I can taste the espresso, but it is distant and vapid. I know my coffee stouts and this has the potential to be so much more. Nice aftertaste, but aforementioned flaws keep this stout from a higher rating.

Nov 16, 2009 Flaske 0,33l fra bestillingsutvalget til Systembolaget. Mørkerød på farge - nesten sort. Et lite mokka-farget skum som forsvant fort. Aroma av sjokolade & kaffe. Smaken er balansert med litt kaffe og litt frukt. Langvarig og god ettersmak med sitt syrlig fruktighet. KI=5

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Hyltebruk.
Pours deep brown with a lovely, staying, big, creamy, beige head. Just like the head on a good cappucino. Lovely sweet aroma, some cocoa, dark chocolate and some light coffee. A bit of dark fruit and milk. Low prickly carbonation, fine dry and grainy mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely coffee-ish. Grainy, some acidity, light citric. Dark chocolate. Long, lingering, coffee bitterness.

Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with an average, fizzy light brown head, mostly diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, toasted grain, coffee), light hop (herbs), average yeast (leather, leaves) with notes of plum, wood, and charcoal. Medium bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.
