3.7 Barwa niemal czarna, klarowne, piana jasnobeżowa, średnio obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie kawa, paloność, gorzkie kakao. W smaku wytrawne, mocno palone, czarna kawa, sporo kwaśności, gorzkie kakao. Gorczka do wysokiej, wysycenie średnie, ciało w normie. Konkretny, prawdziwy stout.
3.6 Bottle from an online shop, drunk with a takeout pizza "Speziale" from a local Italian place - support those little guys. Very dark, black, with a small tan head. Nice roasted aroma, hints of cacao, smooth nose. The taste is creamy, nicely rounded, with an excellent dark toasted malt / coffee-like aftertaste melding with the hop bitterness. Not fancy, pastry, or trendy; but very enjoyable and easy drinking.
3.2 0.5l lahvové zakoupené ve frydecke beskydské pivotece. Silná prazena kava. Opravdu ostré horké pivo opravdu špatně pitelne.
3.6 Pite jakiś czas temu. Ocena w celu uzupełnienia profilu. https://www.instagram.com/czgr_
3.5 bon stout léger sur arômes café chocolat. facile à boire.
2.7 Pours cola black with a thick, lacy brown head, great protein there. Aroma is burnt toast, hops, and hop-citrus. Flavor is burnt coffee, bitter from the hops. Thin body but smooth, that protein is really working for this here. Overall I wouldn't buy or drink again, but it's not bad, just not to my tastes. Be a great choice if you like Guiness! (I don't.)
4.3 De Cervezasdiferentes. En copa de pinta inglesa de Ikea. Estudiando. Rico perfil tostado y cafetoso muy inglés y muy bebible, con un buen cuerpo pese a su baja graduacion. Se echa en falta más de esto.
3.8 Sort, lidt font beige skum. Aroma er mørk ristet malt, man fornemmer ristning, smagen er det samme, fin fylde god smag af mørk ristet malt.
3.7 Ok.. Dark, full, strong, partially smooth with slight hoppiness.
4.1 Smooth and tasty stout.
3.7 500ml bottle @home. Bruna intensa, limpida, schiuma cappuccino media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia. In bocca è appena dolce all'attacco con amaro deciso, caffettosa. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione media. Forse l'amaro è un filo troppo spinto, ma nel complesso è una splendida stout!
3.4 Bottle, old notes. Relatively fizzy, dark brown almost black, beige foam. Nicely complex toasty and roasty malts, medium bitterness.
3.6 A good example of a full flavoured and bodied stout.
3.8 Now this is more like it Shepherd Neame, stick to what you are good at. Black beige head with very good retention and lacing. Roasted malts and chocolate, coffee, alcohol aroma. Taste combines these notes well. The body is strong and fairly smooth. Carbonation is a little too sparkling at first but I found if you air it long enough the level works well. Very good
1.8 Rather poor overall. Tastes startlingly similar to sparkling water. Some chocolate notes, but they fade into generic bitterness on the tongue with little or no sweetness. Tastes rather 'thin' somehow and has the character more of a second rate pale ale than of a porter.
3.3 Duft af kaffe, mørk chokolade, lidt karamel. Meget mørk, men mangler lidt skum. Alt for karboneret, der gør det svært at smage ordentligt. Mangler lidt fylde. Smag af ristet malt, kaffe og karamel
3.8 # 2122; 7/2020. Coffee, roasty, dark chocolate in aroma. Dark brown body, tany persistant head. Strong roasty flavors, coffee, dark chocolate, creamy mouthfeel with strong roasty bitterness. Very good stout. 0,5 l, bottle, beershop, Prague.
3.2 Dry stout bought from Lidl during the Covid19 lockdown. Dry roast coffee flavours offset the sweet chocolate flavours
3.3 Barwa: czarna, klarowne Piana: beżowa, obrączkuje, drobnopęcherzykowa Smak: słodkie Aromat: czekolada, kawa Goryczka: średnia, podobna do gorzkiej czekolady Nasycenie: niskie- średnie
3.6 Bold roasted flavour with coffee and chocolate undertones. Highly carbonated so takes away from the flavours a bit. Let it rest before drinking. A good starting point for someone wanted to break into big black beers that are not Guinness. From Britain's oldest brewery, they have a fair idea on how to make a beer.
3.6 Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Roasted chocolate aroma. Pours a dark brown/black with a fluffy off-white head that hods well. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Complex flavours with coffee, roasted malts and a good bitter aftertaste.
2.0 Strong on the chocolate. Been super let down by this brewery before, but this isn’t terrible.
3.8 From Britain’s oldest brewery in faversham A very dark full bodied strong ale Beige head and notes of roasted coffee and hints of cocoa Bottle version
3.4 Black with a medium light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Bittersweet with a coffee and mild roasted malt end.
3.7 Poured jet black with a large thick light brown head that lasted a marathon. Aroma all the right elements of cold coffee, cocoa, a touch of toasted rye. Flavour smooooooth, dark roasted grains gradually moving to bitter dark chocolate with a hint of cocoa which seems to linger forever. Palate full bodied, oily texture, incredible length to finish. Overall, an understated and easily sourced masterpiece.
3.6 50cl Bottle @ Lovecraft Beershop / Brewery, Aveiro, Portugal. Black colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa. Taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, mugicha. Medium body, average carbonation.
4.2 Pours a very dark brown with a medium caramel head. Aroma of roasted coffee and toffee. Nice roasted mildly bitter malt and tobacco taste. Thick mouth feel and long lasting slightly bitter coffee aftertaste
3.7 Bottle. It pours black with a creamy beige head. The aroma is roasted with bitter chocolate, tobacco, oat, light licorice and coffee. Quite bitter ashy roasted flavor. Mild sweetness. Great classical stout.
3.6 0.5 bottle C: opaque N: perfume, soap, floral, green apple P: light apple, burnt toast, ash, charcoal, touch of coffee.
3.6 Bottle from Systembolaget Sweden. Small and fluffy brown head. Very dark color. Nice dark roasted malt aroma. Dry roasted malt taste and slim body. Fine balanced bitterness.
