3.7 0.33 l bottle @ 8% ABV from Viking XPress ferryboat (Helsinki-Tallinn) shop. Aroma is dark chocolate. Appearance is dark ruby (almost black) with a tan head. Taste is machine oil, then dark roast coffee and chocolate. Dry taste is fighting with malts. Not too bitter which is not the point anyway in this style.

3.7 (Bottle, 0.33 l - ABV 8.0 % - bottled on 27/1/2015 - BB 27/1/2017, from Viking Gabriella, 20160527) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had dark chocolate, creaminess and grass. Palate was full bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were grass, pine, burnt malts, liquorice, dark chocolate, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt and bitter. A tasty burnt brew.

3.8 330 ml bottle from Hawthorne Cellars. Label indicates bottling on 27/1/2015 and 8.0% ABV. Pours black with medium tan head. Aroma of toasted malt. Flavours of chocolate and coffee balance the toasted malt well. Taste is crisp for a stout. Recommended.

3.8 330 ml bottle. 8.0%. From Tax Free Shop on board m/s Gabriella (Helsinki-Stockholm). Black color with a mid-size foamy tan head. Strong caramel sweetness, malty roastiness, vanilla, dryness and some sweet liqueur notes in the aroma. Quite yummy! The flavor really is yummy! Roasted malt, dryness, hoppy bitterness, some liqueur, vanilla beans, mild booziness and some marmalade fruitiness. Balanced and rich. Strong and yummy!

3.8 Bottle 330ml (ABV 8.0%, Viking XPRS) Dark ruby-brown color, small steady brownish head. Roasted aroma with light milkyness and licorice. Full-bodied, smooth palate. Roasted, coffeish, salty licorice, some alcohol. Lingering roasty aftertaste. Mellow and balanced. Yum.

4.1 Bottle @ home. Pours with a dark brown colour, medium frothy tan head. Aroma is rich in dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla and some licorice; very strong roasty notes; quite a strong aroma, and elegant. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter, quite sour; not as elegant as the aroma, but right on the export stout kind of idea. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, pleasant soury finish.

2.1 At cellar temperature and into a snifter. Deepest cola in the shallows otherwise it’s black. Head a mere tannish ring on the meniscus. I must have a cold because I struggled to pick up any aroma apart from a faint hint of burnt toast and sawdust. On the palate it is a little rough and raw. Bitter and sharp peppery hops actually dominate. Otherwise it yields up twiggy bark, scorched wood and ash, peanut husks and stinging nettles. Body is on the lean side. Quite sprightly with a powdery feel to the finish. Just did not like it, so that’s a subjective thing. Nothing melded. Hmmmph! (33cL, BB 27/01/16, The Liquor Shed, Jandakot)

4.5 Bottle from Beer Cartel 150316. This is a big roasty stout that fills the mouth with flavour. Burnt bitter finish leaves a long lingering aftertaste. Looks good in the glass and the only thing missing is the fire to sit around.

4.0 Pours black with a large tan head. Nose shows liquorice, roasted malt, soft coffee and a little bready malt. Flavours include more liquorice and roast, treacle, some caramel/toffee and a fair whack of bitterness in the finish.

3.8 A black beer, a head is quite small and beige. Aroma has roastiness, coffee, richness of sour bread, hint of riped fruitness. Taste is rich, roastiness, black coffee. Some bitterness that’s nicely balancing the sweetness. Medium+ bodied, low carbonation. Roasted, slightly harsh beer, same notes that are in the Sinebrychoff Porter. Tasteful beer.

3.7 Bottle. Dark brown in color with a tan head. Dark roasted notes, soft fresh licorice and cocoa powder in aroma. Quite soft mouthfeel, but some burnt coffee and butterscotch notes are present tastewise. Solid, bit stronger stout. Like the soft, even slightly vinous and burnt elements in this brew.

4.3 Aromat dosyć intensywny, palone słody, kawa, gorzka czekolada i taki likierowy alkohol. Kolor czarny, nieprzejrzyste. Beżowa, bardzo obfita piana, kremowa, średniopęcherzykowa, trwała, ładnie zdobi szkło. W smaku dominują palone słody, kawa, gorzka czekolada, pralinki. Wszystko to fajnie intensywne, gęste i lekko alkoholowe. Średnia goryczka, w stronę wysokiej, średnie wysycenie. Pychota.

3.6 Aroma: light hop, molasses and malt App: black, tan head with sudsy lacing Flavour: prominent hop followed by burnt caramel

4.5 bottiglia, nera intensa, schiuma compatta e persistente, in bocca liquirizia forte degnamente liquorosa e alcoolica, si perde un pelino sul finale ma merita

3.7 From Sake Taniguchi. Brew by Numbers 08/01 Export Stout 8% As I’ve got another dozen odd beers I’ve gotta start drinking them. Served in a stout glass. This stout pours inky black with a thick beige head. The aroma is savoury roastiness chocolate. I get almost cocoa puffs type of aroma. Medium to full bodied with a lightly prickly carbonation. This is a full flavored stout rebelling in dark milk chocolate and roasty malt notes with mild stone fruit character. Damn fine stuff.

3.6 Block size tan head dark pour soft carbonation aromas hay wheat cocoa roast chocolate grass the flavours medium bitter salty note caramel oat wheat grassy hay cocoa chocolate lots of sweetness and balanced bitter taste smooth on the palate strong tasting the best notes at the finish grain malt sweetness lasting bitter a bit one way in taste though

3.9 Aromat niezbyt intensywny. Potem się polepsza. Trochę kwaskowości, ciemne słody. Po ogrzaniu wychodzą nuty palone i kawowe. Lekko likierowy aromat, wychodzi trochę alkohol. W miarę ogrzewania wychodzi trochę owoców w aromacie, śliwki i nuty wędzone. W smaku wytrawne. Jakaś dziwna nuta, dość ostra. Kojarzy się z jakimś smakiem pralin, trochę jak marcepan. Pełne w odczuciu, zostawia lekko zaklejające uczucie w ustach. Gęste, mocne, alkohol grzeje w przełyku. Całkiem dobry stout.

3.1 chocolate, earthy, coffee, nuts, woody, vanilla, alcohol, smoke, black, hazy, tan foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, bitter, some off flavours that i cant understand that makes IT unbalanced.

3.4 Bottle at home. I opened this to be met with a burst of foam, poured it into the glass and effectively just has a glass of foam - infected. Let the foam settle and poured a glass that was black in colour with a medium large lasting tan head. It really doesn’t taste infected which is odd given the initial explosion but it is very heavily carbonated, so will rate it as best as I can and try to ignore the fizz. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, plum. Taste is big coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, molasses. Enjoyed this despite the clear issues with the bottle/batch although it was hard to give it a true rating.

3.5 330 ml bottle from Viking Line. Black with tanned head. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Dry with medium bitterness and medium carbonation.

3.7 Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to a half inch. Roasty, somewhat austere aroma with some cocoa, chicory, treacle and smoke. Smooth texture, lowish carbonation. Just enough sweetness to be full bodied. Lots of roast, some smoke. Mocha flavours well in the background as seasoning to the stoutiness. Just a little acrid with burnt and acidic notes joining with firm bitterness at the end. Good stuff.

3.8 Bottled. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a minimal mid-brown head. A boozy nose with red fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Thick in the mouth with powerful malt flavours and a long, very dry, smoky finish.

3.5 Pours a pitch black clear body with a brown head that quickly settles down to a thin ring on the edge on the glass. Nose has roasty notes of coffee, chokolate, liquorice and smoke. Taste is sweet with a rather hefty bitter finish and roasty lingering aftertaste. Soft carbonation and fairly light mouthfeel the the ABV. Quite nice and drinkable with pleasant coffee roastiness.

3.5 Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Black with large beige head. SOft roasted chocolate and coffee aromas. Medium to full bodied, low to medium carbonation. Semi dry, medium bitterness.

4.0 Bottled. Pitch Black coloured. Dense Brown head. Aroma. Chocolate, roast, espresso, liqourice, Cocoa, spice. Flavour. Liqourice, roast coffee, chocolate. Medium to full bodied. Ends roasted and spiced.

3.9 Black with creamy tan head. Roast, chocolate, caramel and floral. Smooth palate. Crisp, hoppy, bitter and smoke finish. Overall: craftmanship.
