Land #42 Das Bier ist mild, ohne allerdings wie viele andere asiatische Biere ins wässrige abzudriften. Der frische hopfige Geschmack und der malzige Abgang lassen auf ein Lager ohne Mängel schließen. Test vom 27.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,11,11,11,9,11 - 11,10

Enticing appearance of black body and nice tan head. Strong nose of smokey, roasted malts with burnt notes and dark chocolate. The flavor starts slightly sweet, again with smoke and malts and ends with a bitter kick. Creamy medium to thick body. Dry finish. The alcohol comes through toward the end with a peppery, warming feel. Moderate carbonation.

Pours black. Held it up to a light and still couldnt see through it. Has a large deep tan head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is of roasted malts and coffee with some chocolate and spices. Alcohol was also there though not overly noticeable. The taste isnt as intense as I was expecting. Body is rather light and easy to drink. Flavor is of chocolate and coffee with plenty of malts as well. Finishes with a dry hop bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden in this brew. A good stout, tasty and smooth.

(bottle, best before Nov. 2005) Almost black coloured with a big brown foam. Roasted malt aroma with burnt caramel, dark cacao and dried plums. Bittersweet flavour, full bodied, smooth carbonated. Moderarately sweet initial taste with roasted malt, chocolate, crusts of german Schwarzbrot, caramel and liquorice. Warming alcohol in the bitter and nutty finish, thus it is quite well integrated. Very complex and quaffable Stout.

First ratingRating added 1/26/2006Black and strong. Very good taste, almost like a meal when you drink it. No alcohol in the taste, typical stout like smell. Some yeast sediment in the bottom. This one I can really recommend to people who likes stout!8/5/9/5/17=4.4Rerate33 cl bottle from Systembolaget, thanks to deft!BB Dec 2008On October 11, 2008Pitch black color, light brown head. Acidic and buttery, strawberry yoghurt scent, weird. Some smoke, alcohol and roasted also. Salty, rosted, grainy, dry, coffee taste. Dry mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. Not sure it’s quite OK this bottle.6/4/7/3/13=3.3Medium way rating, since I think my first is probably too high and my second might be a faulty bottle: 7/4/7/4/15=3.7
