A black beer, a head is quite small and beige. Aroma has roastiness, coffee, richness of sour bread, hint of riped fruitness. Taste is rich, roastiness, black coffee. Some bitterness that’s nicely balancing the sweetness. Medium+ bodied, low carbonation. Roasted, slightly harsh beer, same notes that are in the Sinebrychoff Porter. Tasteful beer.

From Sake Taniguchi. Brew by Numbers 08/01 Export Stout 8% As I’ve got another dozen odd beers I’ve gotta start drinking them. Served in a stout glass. This stout pours inky black with a thick beige head. The aroma is savoury roastiness chocolate. I get almost cocoa puffs type of aroma. Medium to full bodied with a lightly prickly carbonation.

This is a full flavored stout rebelling in dark milk chocolate and roasty malt notes with mild stone fruit character. Damn fine stuff.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to a half inch. Roasty, somewhat austere aroma with some cocoa, chicory, treacle and smoke. Smooth texture, lowish carbonation. Just enough sweetness to be full bodied. Lots of roast, some smoke. Mocha flavours well in the background as seasoning to the stoutiness. Just a little acrid with burnt and acidic notes joining with firm bitterness at the end. Good stuff.
