Ya know, for an Aldi exclusive stout, it ain’t too bad. Had a side-by-side with Guinness Draught and this beats it handily. Roast and bitter chocolate on top of cascara and dark berries. Not great, but if you’re buying Aldi beer, great isn’t on the table.

Pours pitch black with heavy carbonation and a thin tan head that quickly fizzes away. Aroma of chocolate malt. Taste has more chocolate, thin nutty element, roasted malt. Palate has burnt coffee, some more chocolate notes. Quite good.

Pours very hazy pale yellow with a quickly fading, fizzy white head. It smells of oranges, cloves, and coriander. The flavor is fairly sweet with oranges, coriander, wheat malt and a yeasty character. It’s not great but it works well enough.

Aldi bottle. Pours nearly black with a small beige head. Roasted malt, toasted nuts, chocolate aroma. Flavor is roasted malt, nuts, cocoa, light coffee. A bit thin, but it is 4.2%. Not bad at all, especially for the price.
