Bottle from a Montego Bay supermarket. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, earthy, light caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, light caramel, chocolate, warm boozy liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Old rating from 02-07-16 - A gift from a friend who visited the Caribbean. 250ml bottle. Named XXtra, but I guess this is one & the same.

Tastes of dark fruits, chocolate, burnt coffee, nutty caramel, tar, sweet malt & alcohol.

Very sweet, with lots of jammy dark fruit notes interspersed between chocolate and caramel. Alcohol is hidden, but an utter lack of hops on the back end offers no balance to the sweetness. Pass.

9.6 oz. bottle from The Mansion. Pitch black pour with a small beige head and decent retention. Surprisingly good lacing. Paint thinner and tar aroma. Not a good sign. Flavors of candied molasses and booze. Good news: It tastes better than it smells, and the 10% ABV is more hidden than I expected. Bad news: Thin, watery body, and a very medicinal taste. Imperial and foreign stout should not be combined. Not a fan.
