Light black hue, with no head, light burnt malt, coffee, hint of chocolate, shy hop aromas follow through on a light-bodied dry palate, of coffee, liquorice, burnt flavors, in a mild dry finish

Black with a tan, medium-sized head. Roasty liquorice aroma. Sweet-ish, roasty flavour. Long bitter finish. Drinkable but pretty simple.

Dark with avergae tan head. Aroma was thin of malts, some oats and light coffee. Some hops kick in at the very end but except for this the flavour is thin without a lot of malt backbone.

The color is black with an almost white head that lasts ok. Thats pretty much all the good things you can say about this beer. The taste is a little coffee and caramel but then its only water.

Sample- 500 ML bottle- Poured a light brown, cocoa coloured head. Suprisingly, the head lasted the length of me drinking the beer, which I haven't seen often. Aroma is malt and fruit, a nice pleasant odour. Taste is bitter and hoppy, with the hops just barely coming through. Went down smoothy, and left a nice aftertaste in my mouth. A decent stout indeed!

(on both bottle and tap)I´ve tasted some bad beer, but never a rubish stout before now. This is, what we call, a thin cup of coffee. NO personality in this brew. It dosen´t even taste bad, it´s just so goddamn uninteresting, I coulden´t even finish the bottle. Btw what´s with that bottle anyway? Clear glass?

Bottle from Tesco. Nearly black with occasional glimpse of ruby. Thin tan coloured head. Roasted malt aroma. Same for the flavour, with also some liquorice and coffee, and a nice bitter finish. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated and smooth. Quite good. Looking at some of the other reviews and the low average, I would guess that this is suffering from at least an element of ’clear bottle deterioration syndrome’.

On bottle 0,5l at Tromsø Ølfestival 17 Aug 06. Dark golden. A creamy lasting head. Very sweet impression and hardly any bitterness. As a stout this is rather watery. A ladies’ beer?
