Rating from 2010: Tiefschwarzes Bier mit etwas beigem Schaum. Der Geruch ist süßlich-malzig mit deutlichen Röstmalztönen. Im Antrunk ist das Bier interessant karamell-süß, in etwa wie ein nicht allzu süßes Malzbier, hinzu kommt aber eine deutlich herbe Röstmalznote, die sich im Hauptteil noch weiter ausprägt. Der schwachen Körper, der zwischendurch leicht wässrig wirkt, ist bei den 2,8% natürlich nicht zu verbergen, aber das finde ich auch nicht schlimm - gehört halt zum Bierstil dazu. Der Nachgeschmack ist lang, eher röstmalzig-herb als karamellig-süß, leicht wässrig, aber sehr süffig. --> Ein sehr interessanter Bierstil, gerade als "Radler-Ersatz" für Autofahrer oder an heißen Sommertagen durchaus zu empfehlen. Mit einem "normalen" Stout darf man es auf Grund des Alkoholgehalts und Stils natürlich nicht vergleichen, aber wässrig oder langweilig ist es keineswegs! Mir gefällts sehr gut! --> 12,12,13,13,12,13 - 12,70

Bottle 27,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy deep dark brown with an orange hue and a small light brown head. Roasted malt in the nose with a little sweet dried fruits. Light body, a little low in carbonation, sweetish roasted malt, fairly metallic. Subdued bitterness. Almost like a Mild Ale really. 050211

275ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Poured cola coloured with no head; light coffee aroma; really sweet flavour with perhaps a touch of coffee; and a slightly drier finish. True to style, but not to the majority of tastes nowadays.

En lätt och svag söt stout. Smakar svagdricka. Mycket söt och lite sliskig. Fina rostade malttoner finns dock under all sötma.

[275ml bottle from Pallant of Arundel] Pours black with chestnut hints and a swiftly dissipating brown head. It isn’t as fizzy as it looks on pouring - in fact, the slight prickle of carbonation is perfect to offset the thick, smooth texture. Light aroma of roasted malt. Taste of caramel, chocolate and malt. Definitely sweet (there’s not a hint of bitterness), but not to a sickly extent - I did keep thinking it would become sickly but it never did. Quite a well constructed beer, although I think you’ll enjoy it more if you think of it as a soft drink rather than a beer - it really doesn’t taste like beer at all! There’s just a hint of sourness in the finish which didn’t quite work, but otherwise I was quite happy with it.
