12 ounce bottle- pours an incredible black/brown with a thick and long lasting cola head. Aroma was bitter chocolate and coffee. The palate was as thick and smooth as milk. Bitter coffee and raisin-like sweetness predominated in the taste of the brew. Had a very strong alcohol flavor as well. Good stout with a really wicked bite.

Nearly perfect stout. I am leaving room for the perfect one wich I haven’t tried yet. But, this is the best one yet (10/08). A truly enjoyable beer that you can savor each sip. Good for dead of winter days lounging by the fire. I must have if you can find it.

Bottle. Coffee, molassis aroma, appearance is a very dark light-less brown with a brown head. toasted maltiness and a little bitternes. If you can find it get it, its worth it. They even have it on tap in random places around california if your lucky enough to stumble across one.

Bottle from Ølbutikken. Dark with a ruby tinge, milk chocolate head. Stron salty liquorice aroma makes my mouth water. Complex aroma, lots of malt, nutmeg, white pepper, cinnamon. Ashy feeling on the tongue.

Very black pour, almost opaque. Has a very strong aroma of dark roasted barley that gives it an almost chocolate smell. Quite thick and has standard Stout bitter, yet pleasent, aftertaste. You should try it if you can find it. Great beer.

Black pour, not much light or coloring even around the edges. Solid brown head. Roasty aromas, some red fruit and barrel aroma also. Fairly carbonated, but ends up being somewhat creamy. Roast/burnt malts, bakers chocolate, dark red fruit/port wine flavors. Med/full bodied. Finishes real clean and warm. The standout in the North Coast stable.
