JRHBrew (217), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada Oct 22, 2005 Pours very dark brown from the bottle (maybe black). No characteristic smell. light to medium body. Not the best thing from the brewery. Paskal (146), La Prairie, Quebec, Canada Oct 16, 2005 Bouteille-Stout noire avec un semblant de rouge crèmeuse, mousse épaisse. Goût de terre, d’épice et de malte rôti, une stout de deuxième catégorie mais agréable--Bottle-Deep dark red. Thick tan head. Earthy, spicy hop aroma with roast malt. Not a great one but ben plaisant! TheGrandMaster (1846), Auckland, New Zealand Oct 16, 2005 Poured from the bottle, black in colour with a large rocky head. Not a strong aroma, marbe hints of grapes? A bit too bitter throughout the mouth and no really strong flavours coming through. Disappointing. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Oct 5, 2005 Pours a nice black coulour which can give u a head with a short swirl. Aroma is just burnt malt. Taste is similar with no distingwishing features sticking out at all, though a little fruit comes towards the end as with the aroma too. Juts another not so good ale from this brewary. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Oct 5, 2005 Bottle (from Sainsburys). Quite a thin beer with an indistinct roast malt flavour - seems like just enough to add colour. Entirely forgettable. Veer (355), Landskrona, Sweden Sep 28, 2005 Smells burnt, leather, malt, liquorice, chooclate, hops and some pther stuff I can’t remember.
Slimy and watery. Unfortunately.
It doesn’t taste much.
Too...spittly. ryananderson (74), Ontario, Canada Sep 27, 2005 Light aroma: some malt and light hoppiness. Average size frothy off-white head produces good lacing but is fully diminishing. Flavour is lightly bitter with some sweetness in the finish, a little bland, but I enjoy strong flavoured stouts. Average length finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Sep 17, 2005 Updated: Dec 18, 2007Bottle (500ml - clear!). Poured a clear, thin-looking dark ruby-brown with an average light brown quick-diminishing head, decent foamy lacing left behind. Bread dough yeast, light chocolate and coffee dark roast malt, a hint of hops, little bit of sour cherry. Taste follows the nose exactly, but starts balanced milk chocolate sweet / hop bitter, finishes more hop bitter with coffee notes dominating. Incredibly thin mouthfeel, not creamy at all ... this is a stout???? Re-rate December 2007 (not clear bottle) - original score 6-3-5-2-12=2.8
