Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is a Stout from the people who bring you Red Stripe (owned by Diageo PLC) , but despite this I have heard good things about it. This Jamaican porter uses European caramel and roasted malts as well as brown sugar. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Black with maroon edges when held to the light. It has a thin mocha head that dissipates but leaves a lingering amount around the edges of the glass.
Aroma: Some grapes with a little metallic notes, some banana notes as well.
Flavour: Very sweet with a little roasted notes, lots of vanilla, and a hint of banana. There is some unpleasant metallic notes coming through as well.
Body: An OK body but very over carbonated.
Aftertaste: A little less sweet with some of the bitterness coming from the roasted notes coming through. Some caramel notes as well.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, nice but a little too sweet and the over carbonation and metallic notes aren't nice.
Price Range: £1.79 for a 284ml bottle, an reasonable price for an OK beer.
Food Pairings: Despite having many of the same flavours I would say this would go quite well with a banana split
