Pitch black body with a big, frothy, light brown head. Delicious, but quite weak, nose with roast malt and chocolate. Flavour is weak, but well balanced between a hops and chocolate bitterness and malt sweetness.

Pitch black in colour with a very dense brown head. The smell is very subtle, just like a normal irish stout. The flavour is great, although subdued. Definately a goo dall around beer that ranks almost on par with guinness.

A black beer with next to no head. The aroma is slightly sweet - boring for a stout. The flavor is a soft sweet, slightly roasted flavor with a little smoke in the aftertaste, but no bitterness. Its thin for a stout, but all in all an OK beer.

A dark amber beer with a small fast disappearing head. The aroma is weak but slightly sweet. The flavor is wheaty (?) - too sweet and boring. All in all an average beer.

Golden colour inded. Slight, very white head, lacy. Nose of chaff and grain. Some slight metallic hint too. In the taste come wheat, grain very much to the fore. Retronasal bitterish, rather clean palate. Watery mouthfeel, a bit carbonation. Aftertaste gives slight acidity due to the wheat and the carbonation. I don't know what to make of this. No phenol/banana as in Bavarian, no Belgian spices for wit, not enough acidity for Berliner - but there's nothing instead!

Completely dark-brown to black. Brown-grey head, thick,big bubbles. Nose: coffee-and-milk, chocolate, roasted malt, tobacco notes. Taste is bitter as from burnt malts. Coffee, chicory. Very chewy mouthfeel, yet refreshing. Aftertaste is malt & bitterness, like a slightly overdone bread.

Dark brown, with only a red shine. darkish head, lacy. Nose gives milk chocolate, like a sweet stout. Taste - this is like watered-down sweet stout. Flavour is certainly caramelmalts, very outspokenly. Daring taste, but I'd liked some hops. Very light-bodied, however, the coloured malts gives some mouthfeel. No new aftertaste. I'm surprised by this beer - it has a character I can't place. I'm even not certain whether I like it or not.

Beautiful red-amber color. Malt nose, with a strange light herbs hint. Dry taste, some malt and very light roasted malt. Sufficient.
