Black as night. Brownish lace, no head. Roasty malt aroma. Bitter. Not really a good choice, I don't think I'd get it again.

Almost like a dark brown colour, light coffee flavours, fairly watery, light for a stout, not very creamy. Leaves you looking around for something else to have.

I knew this beer would suck and I just bought it cuz the bottle looks kinda cool..smells like fermented playdough tears..the appearance was a darkish stoutish color gangraped by ghostly ruby shades..the flavor was a watery, bitterly roasted peanut shell of a concoction that stung with blahness..a lot of people gave this low scores on 'appearance'..but it looked pretty good to me added upon by the sweet bottle graphics...It wasnt offensive..although it did have metallic notes..but I've had much worse..although maybe not any worse stouts..

Bottle, at home (031031). Black with reddish head. Aroma moderate malty (burnt, licorice) and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter.

Bottle from Metro Wines, Syston, Leics. Rather thin looking Stout, with no head. Tinny flavour, with a nasty aftertaste. Metal all the way, lacking thickness, or stickiness. Not great.

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.

WHO LET THE SKUNKS OUT???? Nasty skunk-spray aroma that only slightly offered some roasted malt aroma once it warmed. No hops or bitterness in this. Nobody took a second sip. Very poor quality.
