12oz bottle from Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, frothy light tan head. The aroma is roasty, liquorice. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, with a smooth, roasty, dry, earthy, liquorice bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation a solid dry stout.

12oz bottle with no ABV at all. Pours near black with a very fine head, almost nitro like. Aroma is dark roasted grains. Beer is medium bodied, off dry with a nice depth of roasty grains & low bitterness.
Decent standard stout & more approachable than many.

12 oz bottle. Pours an opaque black color with a medium sized sudsy beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is somewhat mild blackened grains, a bit of chocolate and some caramel. The taste is well roasted grains, earth, trace of coffee and a bit of bitter chocolate. The palate seemed a bit thin and the carbonation was lively. Finished medium in duration with lingering bitter coffee. Overall: Decent stout--paired well with some BBQ potato chips.

Schwarz wie die Nacht, in der Nase röstig, Schokolade. Im Trunk malzig, recht bitter für ein Stout. Könnte aromatischer sein. Nicht gut ausbalanciert.
