From Bottle

Dark stout, hoppy aroma, Flavor was of burnt coffee, not overpowering, and a hint of chocolate. Very watery for a stout.

Looks wicked in the glass. A full rich muddy head that lingers. Little bits of lumpy lace. Deepest opaque brown. Trace of anise in the nose, giving way to roasted malt. Aroma is late, but big on roasted cocoa beans. Vanilla. Misses a bit on the finish, but not too much. Quaffable, and not over the top like many US stouts.

This is a good one to drink if you love Stouts. A very good example of the style, bursting with malt flavor, very dark in color with a thick, full body.

Black. Big, dense, bubbly, creamy light brown head. Roasted malt and burnt chocoffee aroma- touch of lactose, also. Same flavor, bitter finish and aftertaste. Smooth, medium body is very drinkable. Would go nice with some waffles at breakfast. Good brew.

Black with no head and very little carbonation. On the thin side for a stout and a little oily. Coffee and chocolate in the flavor with very light bitter hops. A good British style stout; decent flavor without a huge palate makes it drinkable.

Bottle. A thin well balanced stout. Aromas of roasted malts and cherry wood. Black body tan head. Flavor was a weak roasted malts and little watery. Smooth easy drinkable beer. I would have to think the cask would be a great stout see the componants for a good stout are there.

Bottle poured black with a light head and very little lacing. Aroma is roast with a hint of cherries. Body is a bit watery with a roast and chocolate flavor and a metalic flavor on the finish.

Pours usual black body and smallish head. Aroma reminds me of Young’s Double Chocolate stout - I believe I quoted that as "I added Nestle Quik to the mix." Some roast in there as well. Palate is very light or watery. On top of that, it doesn’t feel balanced either. The aroma was fine for me, but the flavor was lacking. More coffee comes out in the finish, almost bitter. Blah. I remember having this when I was first drinking beer and thought it was fantastic. I remember savoring every drop, realizing this was a Guinness with a rich chocolately coffee like flavor. It had that light body that fit so well at the time since all I drank was Yuengling and bmc light. My how times have changed. This beer had a lot of potential, but fell far short.
