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.

A deep dark stout with a super thick moka head. A Nestlé chocolate aroma, with vanilla notes. In mouth, a sweet moka chocolate, with vanilla fudge, sweet, cloying and cheap. LCBO. Tasted Nov. 2008

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Marginally better than the stud power stout. Black, thin tan head. Sweet and sour aroma. Again sweetish in mouth. Cola-ish. It’s pretty bad. Just too sweet.

Lugged a 275ml bottle of this back from my rugby tour in Barbados. Pours a completely opaque, deep, dark black with a creamy tan head. Aroma is heavy on the molasses, brown sugar, licorice, tobacco and tree sap. Flavor is very sweet, brown sugar, maple, toffee, caramel and licorice. Tastes like the island. Tastes like something that was brewed right next to the cane fields. Finish is very thick and sugary. The texture reminded me of a milk stout. Way too sweet to drink more than one or two, but very unique. Very much a product of it’s surroundings.

Bottle (bought in Nassau, Bahamas). Great coffee bean and dark chocolate malt. Dark brown-black color with thin film of a head. Sweet syrup malt flavor - slightly cloying - with light coffee aftertaste. If the flavor had been more like the aroma, would have like it a lot better. Apparently doesn’t age well looking at the other ratings.

Can, 500 ml; expiry date: 05/07; eye: opaque black with a nice espresso head that lasts a bit more than usual, a bit of effervescence, lacing on the glass; nose: toffee, a bit of roasting but rapidly overshadowed by sugar; mouth: surprisingly, no roasting in the tase, mainly sugar, in fact too much sugar, relatively thin. I am still wondering what of a stout this beer has. Oh, as I was doing this, the beer warmed up and just a bit of roasting appeared out of thin air but so little of it... FRANÇAIS Canette, 500 ml, date d’expiration : 05/07; oeil : noire foncée opaque, belle mousse espresso, un peu d’effervescence, dentelle sur le verre; nez : toffee, pointe de torréfaction recouverte rapidement par du sucre; bouche : surprenamment aucun goût de torréfaction, surtout du sucre, trop même, relativement mince en bouche. Je cherche toujours ce qu’elle a d’une stout. Après un réchauffement, un très léger goût de torréfaction est apparu mais si peu...

Black color, brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, rye, some port-wine, sugar. Very sweet taste, like a sweet stout with loads of sugar in it. Very off-balance. Sticky palate. It could be a lot better, when they stayed out of the sugar pot.

undated bottle (03 maybe?). Pours a what appears to be a dark deep brown with a good-sized mocha cream head. Quite bubbly, and on further inspection/settling out, it’s quite clear and lifeless Aroma has vigorous amounts of sweet mocha coffee with plenty of brown sugar in it, a sweet blush vinous feel to it and some bits of licorice and more caramel. Flavor starts out with huge amounts of artificial carbonation peppering the mouth and interupting an overly sweet medium body. Syrupy caramel, molasses and maple overpower the palate and it ends on a sort of thin, almost cherry-cola-like note. I’m really detecting a lot more candy than I would like to (wouldnt want to detect any really). Just tastes very old and artificial, with an unbalanced sweetness. It certainly is distinctively sweet, at least they admit it.

Great brown head with little retention on top of this sweet/fruity stout. Almost taste the vanilla/sugarcane with a light bitter aftertaste. Less watery tasting then Guiness but still not a full body if you ask me. Overall, pretty decent for a Carebean beer.

Black in colour-completely opaque with a fairly dense light brown head. Smells of roasted malt, burnt sugar and even a bit of cherry! Medium-bodied; Strong initial flavour of sour milk, morphing into an equally strong sweetness then finishing with a bit of bitterness. Aftertaste fairly sweet with a few bittering characteristics, but left pretty subtle for a stout. Overall this beer is a bit odd-perhaps the Trinidadians and Tobogans are used to it though!? It is the first beer I've had of the style and I would try others after having this. Pick this one up if you can find it and are curious to try the style! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia and sampled it on 11-September-2003.
