Jun 4, 2006 [Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Very black with small beige head. Dry with light body and soft mouthfeel. Lightly salty and discretely flavourful. There’s roasty malt and tobacco. The hop rate is fairly low, so the lightly salty finish has less than medium bitterness. An excellently balanced session stout. The antipode to US microbrews.

Oct 15, 2008 33cl bottle. A pitch black stout with a foamy, medium-sized beige head that dissipates reasonably quickly leaving a thin layer of carbonation. Aromas of roasted malts, plenty of sweet milk chocolate and a certain degree of perfume. The flavours are based around dark chocolates, coffee and a thick toffee maltiness. The finish produces a dry, lasting smokiness as well as some chocolate and more subtle perfuminess in the aftertaste. A dry body with a thickish, soft mouthfeel.

Mar 10, 2007 Definitely one of the most interesting labels I ever seen. Bought this at Toppers in Helana Montana and drank this in the car driving to Vegas. Rich with a bit of sourness and an interesting beer I would like to revisit some day. Page 448 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 241 of his Classic 500 Brews to go.

Jun 18, 2006 Cask@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Dark ruby red colour, brown mediumsized head. Aroma roasted malts as well as coffee. Smoked and roasted flavour with sweet toffeeish hints. Some chocolate also noteable, but no coffee at all in the flavour. Tnx to omhper, for recomending this before leaving for the OMH-rating session.

Dec 5, 2008 Cask at the White Horse Parsons Green.
Full flavoured stout, lots of smoke, rather sweet, but the finish is dry. Interesting, but a bit too much burned/smoky malt to give total balance.
