Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass and a snifter. The lacing just clings longer in the snifter.
The rest of the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute.
The smell was roasty coffee with a light chocolate underneath.
The taste was roasty and sweet through the chocolate and coffee blend.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but stayed slightly in the background.
Overall, good foreign export stout worthy of having again.

Poured from a 12oz bottle. Aroma has a muted roast character with some light coffee and faint chocolate notes. Medium light dark fruit esters with faint banana and tropical fruit. Pours a clear, dark brown with some lighter brown highlights and a medium thick, moderately sized tan head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. Flavor has a faint sweetness with moderate roast and coffee notes and light chocolate character. Mid to late palate you pick up some fruit notes of berry, cherry and prune with faint hints of banana and tropical fruit. Finish has a lingering roast note. Medium light bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low, but present astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty unimpressive stout with a surprisingly large ester quality. Nice roast notes along with light chocolate, but not as Bright as they could be. Good mouthfeel with slight stickiness.

12 oz. bottle. Thanks, Michael! Pours black, with a small, beige head. Chocolate, tobacco, and syrup aromas, with some light spicy and resinous hop aromas. Sweet, with an unpleasant burnt bitterness that lingers far into the finish. Relatively nice, sweet stout, but the flavor is unpleasantly bitter.

I had this in a 12 oz. bottle and blown away I never rated this version. Black in color with beige head, having spider web lacing. Chalky roasted malts, bland coffee, some light hops. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic and has a subtle bitterness to round off the roast. The only down fall is the thin body. But something you could offer somebody who has never drank any stout.

Bottle.Pours opaque black with a small head that dissipates fast with no lacing. Aroma is surprisingly lacking in body given color - mostly sweet grains like a pale lager. Taste is sweet grain/straw with a mildly bitter finish. Lacking in body and character. I with Guinness would withdraw the brewing license for this stuff.
