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.

Agree with Silk, it’s a mild. So why call it stout? Very dark brown. Aroma coffee, chocolate, caramel, malt, all quite subdued. Thin mouthfeel, short finish. Did they say hops? Exactly how much is a broomful?

Dark brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is some hop, baking soda, notes of coffee and a bit skunky. Flavours are hickory salty and smoked salmon. Moderately dry finish.

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?

500 ml bottle - pours a deep brown/black with a decent tan head. Faint notes of cocoa and fruits and very little else. And that’s trying really hard - there’s really nothing distinct in the aroma or taste that stand out. Taste of sour grapes and a hint of roasted malts and some bitterness, but not a hoppy bitter - not much here, thin and watery. There’s nothing, well, stout, about this stout - matter of fact, it’s more like a dark brown ale, and not a very good one at that. I wanted to love this beer, I really did - I like the gimmick and the bottle, but the thing that counts - what’s inside - sadly doesn’t deliver.

Black color with some brown hues. Mild aroma of roasted malt. Mild flavor of roasted malt. A very average stout, I’m not a fan of this brewery, the beers I’ve tasted from them range from ordinary to awfull : Hobgoblin, Fiddler’s elbow and this one.

Cask Conditioned, at the Hobgoblin, Holloway, London.
Dark brown with a thin tan head. Delicately sweet, soft aroma. Some sweetness to start but turns into a super dry and bitter finisher. Everything in this beer has been scorched to death. The palate and mouth feel is thin, more like a mild then a stout.
