On draft. Pours a very dark brown, with a little head that leaves quickly, and some lacing. The taste is dark malt, bready, with a hint of bitter chocolate. Best guinness I have had.

Pours black, crema head. Smells mild, of roasted barley and quite a lot of grass. Palate is thin. Coffee, some chocolate, nuts and fruit. Mellow with a nice dry finish.

Bottled. A chestnut-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and hints of burnt malt. The flavor is sweet and very roasted with strong notes of roasted malt as well as medium notes of chocolate, prunes, and bread, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Overall this provided a decent beer experience. From a 11.2 oz bottle. Not much smell to speak of but there is some tinny roasty-ness there. Barely any head., but nice and dark, the way I like it to look. Creamy biting small bubble fizz but less than average for a good tingle. Much more carbonation than those nitro brews. Darker roasty flavors with some hints of burnt wet campfire wood. Ropey at times. Finish is a mixed dark beer linger that is reminicent of scwartzbeer, dark american lager and mild stout all in one.

Jet black pour, off-white persistent head.Aroma is fainter than I expected: soft roasted grains, a bit meaty, some oatmeal.Taste is (again) quite light on: some nutty chocolate grain but very clean and tame. Also a hint of alcohol, and slight coconut.Slightly watery and too intense carbonation.

Bottle: Pours a deep brown with a large, frothy beige head. Heavy roast in the aroma with a little bittersweet cocoa. Flavor is similar to the regular version, maybe more hops than I remember... Tastes roasty with moderate bitters and light coffee. Can’t really give this any praise, as it was a pretty much a less potent version of the original.

This beer pours dark brown with a thick and fluffy beige head that relentlessly burns away to almost nothing. Patchy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt aroma with a bit of cocoa. Medium body with flavors of burnt malt, coffee and sweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a short malt and coffee aftertaste. Decent overall, but it would have been nice to have something more exciting for the occasion.
