Bottle. Cocoa powder malt and wood ash aroma. Dark brown with giant tan head. Ashy cocoa malt flavor with mild hops finish. Very nice stout - a much better choice than Guinness in the states.

Bottle. Dark brown stout with a thin, pale foam. Not very "heavy", but has a nice roasted aroma and a hint of fruit ? There is a slight bitterness in the finish.

Rated November 2006. Dark-dark brown color with creamy mocha head. Aroma is molasses, coffee and burnt malts. Yum, nice malt flavors break right out of the glass: roasted malts, chocolate malts and a pinch of black patent burnt malts. There’s also a Monday morning hot cup of coffee flavor too.

Bottled. Brown/rubyish colour with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is raisins, sweet malts and dark chocolate. Roasted malts, toffee and chocolate in flavour. Hops become present in the aftertaste along with roast. OK stout, though it’s a bit thinpalated.

Deep transparent walnut colored body with a decent tan head that laces your glass. Coffee and chocolate mocha aroma. Flavor showed a bittersweet chocolate and coffee with a nice light hoppy bite.
