Black in colour. When held against the light there's some ruby. Burnt aroma with some coffee and maybe a touch of vanilla. Tasty flavour of dark, bitter chocolate. Very smooth and drinkable.

A very dark amber beer with a very fine head. It has a light fruity aroma. The flavor is smooth powerful and very nice, it contains fruit, wood and roast notes - and ends on a powerful bitterness - really a good winter beer.

A great pour with the guinness effect and a rich dense tan head on top of a completely opaque black coloured body. Chocolate and coffee tones with a roasted malt aroma. Great chocolatey bittersweet flavour with a great feel in the mouth--I love the widget. A great all around stout with some flavour compared to the flavourless guinness!

Black in color, I couldn’t see ruby. Head is brown and disappears quickly. Scent of chocolate. Chocolate taste is immediately noticeable, and as it warmed I also tasted coffee and hops. Full bodied. Left a dry feeling in my mouth; the last few sips were noticeably bitter. Very good. As one of my very early ratings, I was very impressed with this at one point. While still a quality beer, it no longer impresses as it once did. Still looks great, but the aroma and flavor are much lighter now that I have more to compare to.

A dark amber beer with a very fine head. The aroma is very nice with notes of roasted malt and sweetness. The flavor is also very good - of a very fine maltblend carrying a mellow sweetness finish by a lovely bitterness. Really a good beer.

A light nutbrown/dark amber beer with a fine head. It has a nice sweet fruity aroma with notes of alcohol. The flavor is strong of a good malt blend - with a nice medium sweetness and a really nice bitterness, that lingers.

I don't like the vanilla-chocolate aroma, but the smooth, sweet taste is not bad, with the addiction of a nice touch of roasted barley.

Black! Brownish creamy head, generous. Malt nose; chocolate, evident; unluckly it reminds me something unpleasant (infamous Florisgaarden Chocolat). Solid stout, but living in Switzerland I can`t fully appreciate this cheap chocolate.
I would like to taste the same beer without chocolate.

Unfortunately it looked a lot better than it tasted. dark red and cloudy. Tasted some coffee, some bitterness. Very filling. May have been in the store cooler too long.

An amber/orange beer with a small fine head. The aroma is only slight but fruity and with notes of honey. The flavor though is dominated by sournes - is it the type of honey used? The malt is totally dominated by the honey - and this honey kills the malt sweetness. I don''t like that. In the end there is a slight sweetness from the honey, and then it ends on a bitter note, but still dominated by the bad honey taste. Not a beer that I can recommend - if You want a honey beer try Carlsbergs Semper Ardens Honey Ale - that is a fantastic beer.
