JoeZasada (344) - Beaumont, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 1, 2022
UPDATED: JAN 1, 2022 Tall (nitro) can. Pours a very dark brown with a tan head; fine bubbles that cascade like nitro stouts do. Light carbonation. Aroma of chocolate and toffee. Some roastiness. Taste is of an earthy bitterness with malt sweet tones. Notes of chocolate. Full bodied, somewhat complex mouthfeel. Finish is warming, with the earthy bitterness fading to a chocolate aftertaste. A very good stout. Like Guiness, but with much more flavours and aromas.

Peter_L (1805) - SWEDEN - DEC 16, 2021
UPDATED: DEC 16, 2021 Brunsvart vätska med tunn skumslöja. Rågbröd och lite choklad. Kaffe blandat med mörk choklad i smaken. Lite rivig och sträv. Saknar en fyllighet.

andrea.guinness (215) - Castello di Fiemme, ITALY - SEP 9, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 9, 2021 La stout più simile alla Guinness che abbia mai bevuto. Forse il sistema a carboazoto è davvero molto caratterizzante, donando una maggior setosità alla bevanda e agendo sul corpo e la schiuma. L’aroma non è molto intenso, ed è caratterizzato soprattutto da note tostate. In bocca dominano le note di caffè e liquirizia. Il cioccolato non apporta i sentori che speravo di ritrovare perlomeno in bocca. Il finale è secco e amaro e persiste a lungo sul palato.

cooling (397) - Lille, FRANCE - JUL 15, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2021 Bière bue au Devil Cafe Bar à Bled. Robe noire, pas de bulles mais belle mousse fine brune assez persistante. Nez léger sur le chocolat. En bouche, carbonatation moyenne des notes de chocolat brûlé sans excès. Bonne longueur en bouche.

wilzwert (1193) - Lille, FRANCE - JUL 15, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2021 Bière 50 cl bue au bord du lac de bled, au café Devil. Robe noire opaque, pas de bulles à l'œil, pourtant elle a une bonne carbonatation en bouche, mousse fine couleur café. Nez chocolaté, malt torréfié, sucré. Bouche sur le chocolat type cacolac, le café torréfié, bien riche et parfumée. (M)

flelau (241) - Kastrup, DENMARK - JUL 6, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2021 Kulsort med brunt skum. Let duft af kaffe. Smag af kaffe og lakrids. Let bitterhed og lidt sød.

jwil (120) - Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 22, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2021 Nice pour out of a highly pressurized can. Dark brown, creamy tan head. Cascading flow as expected. Aroma is sweetly of milk chocolate. Other notes are less pronounced. Mouthfeel is luxurious. Soft and pillowy. Silky smooth nitro essence. Bitter cocoa nibs are ever present here. Not as complex as other stouts in terms of developed flavors, but everything here is quite enjoyable. Smooth and rich. This is basically chocolate cake in beer form (absent the cloying sweetness). Easy to drink. Minimal bitter tones. Give it a try, for sure.

Yarowind (324) - Moscow, RUSSIA - APR 18, 2021
UPDATED: APR 18, 2021 Черное, с мягкой, сливочной пеной. А вот аромат и вкус несколько бледные, не хватает насыщенности . Но пьется легко.

joysilence (3) - - APR 17, 2021 does not count
UPDATED: APR 17, 2021 Горький шоколад, кофе, интересное пиво, но по мне не хватило полнотелости. Ароматика слабовыражена.

3.6
Jerseyislandbeer (3514) - JERSEY - FEB 28, 2021
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2021 Old rating from 2013 - 500ml bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aromas & tastes of chocolate, coffee, bread & roasted malts. Medium body. Slightly bitter finish
