This beer isn't much of a stout but it's flavourful nonetheless, a little on the sweet side. Overall a decent beer but there's better beer out there.

Too expensive. Pretty boring. A red stout. I would rather call it a typical English Bitter.

Very dark color with bubbly froat. Very thin watery body and flavour. Absolutly nothing special and NOT worth 22 Dk-kr.

(4.5% ABV, bottled) Very dark color with bubbly, disappearing, off-white head. Malty aroma with forest mushrooms. Burned, malty and dry flavor with licorice and sweetish aftertaste. Maybe a bit too carbonated and light-bodied for a stout, but not a bad beer by my standards.

Aroma is not just clear bottle import skunky but full on roadkill stuck to your bumper skunk odour. Cracking this open immediately polluted the room with its stench from many feet away. Strong aroma belies the thin watery body and flavour. Appearance is the saving grace on this one.

No head. Oat and skunk aroma. Very thin texture. Bitter tasting, licorice, woody flavours. Not very good.

Botle - Dark black brew with a nice foamy head with medium retention. Floral aroma coming out of my glass is incredible. Taste is very sweet unlike the irish stout. This is very different and the body is very light. I'm not even sure this is a stout but overall it is not a bad beer.
