Stout is a dark beer made using roasted barley malt, hops and yeast. Traditionally the strongest (stoutest) porters, preferred by dock workers in the 19th century England. Today associated more with dark beer rather than just strong.

Big brown head. Opaque black body. Roasty toffee and chocolate aroma with fruity notes. Excellent harmony and concentration. Sweet earthy roasty toffee taste with chocolate and fruit notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel, very smooth. Sweetish earthy chocolatey coffee aftertaste with resiny toffee notes. Light minerality. A lovely beer, somewhat reminiscent of the Gl. Carlsberg Imperial Stout, but obviously lighter. (0.33l can, from wine monopoly, but no idea which one.)

Taste is slightly sour-ish mineraly, weeds, grass, licorice, bark, minerals, dark malts, burnt caramel, paper, hints of sour coffee. Medium bitterness, slightly mineraly and watery mouthfeel. Fair enough.

330 ml can, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Large beige head. Aroma of moderately roasted malts, hints of caramel, chocolate and mild coffee. The flavour is slightly on the sweet side, smooth and well balanced. Notes of moderately roasted malts, caramel malts, coffee and dark chocolate, a hint of liquorice, moderate hops. A very promising beer from Svalbard.
