Pours jet black into an English pint. Tan head recedes to skim surface. Milk chocolate and smoke aromas. Oily and slightly thin with upfront espresso and a lasting sour, roasted chocolate finish. Lots of flavor for 4%.

Aroma: smokey, coffee and nicely balanced by dark chocolate roles. Appearance: black, tan, head sheet lacing. Flavour: hazelnut, chocolate coffee in abundance. Palait: creamy, lights carbonated but a touch thin. Finishes fruity/herbal.

This stout pours a deep black color from a 500ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head, long lasting with good lacing. Aroma is chocolate, cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Light to medium bodied stout. Malts are chocolate and coffee. Hops are earthy. Nice balance. Soft mouthfeel with a crisp dry finish. Kind of thin tasting, but that may be due more to the 4% alcohol than any defect in the beer. This is a decent session stout, if such a thing exists. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

A slightly above average stout. Pours a very dark brown with a small very fizzy active head that quickly disappears. Aroma and flavor are very roasted, malts, some chocolate & coffee. Not too bad. Mouthfeel is kind of thin for a stout, medium carbonation. A decent stout to drink in the summertime, but I prefer heavier, bigger stouts than this.

Poured well. Deep black colour. Taste - too burnt, too much black malt for my liking.

A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from Whole Foods. Awesome black appearance with a decent tan head. Sweet aroma with some sickly chocolate notes. Straight forward chocolate flavour with a faint sourness in the finish and some late coffee to add some interest. Otherwise it’s pretty dull.

Pours a rich black with a decent tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, coffe, and dark fruit greet the nose. Flavor is very malty with emphasis on the roasted, chocolate, and toasted malts. Finsih is smooth and with a nice touch of roastedness.
