Stensbogaard English Dark Stout

Stensbogaard English Dark Stout (50 cl bottle) 6,3%
This beer was part of the spring news release in the beginning of February 2010. It's the second beer I try from the same brewery. I tried their IPA and found it hoppy fresh just the way I like 'em. So lets see how their Stout is.

Cost: 56,00 SEK

Appearance: 4/5
Pitch black liquid with a small light brown foam that left some lacing.

Smell: 7/10
Chocolate, syrup, boiled vegetables and a hint of coffee.

Taste: 6/10
Funky cellar, chocolate, nuts, hint of coffee.

Mouthfeel: 4/5
Medium smooth, dry, medium-thick body.

Comment:
A decent stout but it feels like it lacks something. Could use some more roasted notes and coffee. Also has some odd flavours like boiled vegetables in the smell and funky cellar in the taste.

Total: 3,4/5
