Near black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of raisins, dark chocolate, rum and a slight herbal edge. Flavour of coffee, chocolate and dark fruit with a bitter roasty finish. Easy drinking for the ABV with a creamy mouth feel.

bottle - Pours very dark brown with a medium sized fading tan head. It smells of smoky roast malt with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is of dark roast malts with coffee and chocolate notes. It’s fairly bubbly on the palate and finishes dry. Very nice stout.

Deep gold with a chill haze. Well, it smells like a champ. The aroma is full of sweet grains and some sour canned fruit stuff. Malt-accented palate with reasonable alcohol. Tastes a bit cidery, but also really sweet, and with some paint-like phenols. It’s going to lose points for a distinctly gluey finish. Not much good in this, time for me to move on.

Clear golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of caster sugar, wheat, corn, alcohol and a bunch of funky clean fruits.Medium to Light-bodied; Strong assertive malts up front fading to a pleasant sweetness and an odd maltiness. Aftertaste shows more fruit and malt than anything else, although no harsh bitterness. Overall, for a beer at 8%, I was expecting much more bitterness, but this was fairly muted. Granted, the stout is MUCH better than this one, but this isn’t a horrible beer. Overall, good to try; I wouldn’t purchase this again, but I’m glad I tried this. That said, if you need to choose between this and the stout, DEFINITELY choose the stout! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Ramsey Liquors in Ramsey, New Jersey on 19-January-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 29-January-2009.
