A similar brewing process to lagers with the use of lager yeast is used in the production of Royal Extra Stout. Fermentation time is much shorter than lagers, and takes place at a higher temperature. Finings traditionally composed of isinglass (fish bladder protein) are designed for yeast removal used during conditioning (storage) prior to filtration. It is also gives the aphrodisiac connotation.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Black with a light brown head. Roasty aroma, a bit grainy and vegetal, with cardboard. Sweet flavor, malty, caramelly, a bit roasty, with saccharine and cardboard. Light to medium-bodied.

Bottle first enjoyed at Pigeon Point, Tobago and then also in Barbados. Black with a small tan head, quite sweet toffee aroma and fairly full bodied. Minimal roasting. Preferring dark beers as I do, on this trip this was something of a treat when compared to most other beers available.

Total Wine, Fairfax 11.6 oz ($1.79): Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt type of stuff (coffee toffee). Taste is mostly just sugar, in the form of a lot of molasses. Coffee ice cream type taste. Better than I expected.

Bottle from random supermarket in St John’s, Antigua. Black with a tan head. Nose of sweet charred malts. Similarly sweet flavour with a hint of metal. No world beater but just about bearable chugged down in the sun with a little wadadli bless.

Smells of bitter coffee, though the aroma isn’t super prominent. Pours with a mocha head that has some staying power, a little lacing. Aftertaste is when this starts to go bad - too much sugary sweetness. The high alcohol goes bad with so much sugar. Bottle.
