12 oz bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle. Pour looks like cola, color, carbonation , the head - really everything. Sharp aroma of scotch malt. Taste is really thin bodied, almost like a watered down scotch ale. In a blind tasting, I would have never guessed Foreign Stout on this one. Oh well, Ethiopia, check!

Bottle Pours a hazy medium chestnut color. Small off white head after a fairly aggressive pour. Aromas are of apple, honey, light roasted malts and some spices like cinnimon. Flavor is sweet, a bit cardboardy. More like a sweet brown ale. This softly carbonated palate. The best beer Ive ever had that claims to have been made at a "Beer Factory"Thanks Jordan My first Ethiopian beer

330 Bottle Pours out a dark amber topped with a light tan head. Aroma of red vine. A little odd on the tast but not to bad. Thanks Jordan

Bottle: Thanks to Jordan for sharing. Pours a hazy reddish, mahoghany with a small white head that dissapated quickly. Nose is fruity, even a bit of winelike qualities. Bubbles tingle on the tongue with tastes of fruit, raison, wine, and a sour blend. Not what you’d expect a stout to look like; nor what you’d expect a stout to taste like. Leaves a lot to be desired...

Dark amber coloured body with a thick brown head. Aroma of caramel, malt, toffee, blood and raisins. Medium-bodied; Bad blood/metal taste up front with some malt-generally bad, with the taste turning to licorice at the end. Aftertaste bland, not horrible. Overall, bad-but interesting. A great beer to try, and thanks to Jon for letting me try this one! I sampled this pint on draught at RFD in Washington, D.C. on 20-June-2004 with JonR888710 & Haddon90.

Dark brown colour. I'm not encouraged by the wet paper smell. Vaguely caramelly malts, thin body, plasticy finish. Where's the roast at? Not much for a foreign stout either, more like a dark lager.
