Who's been drinking this

Just seemed like a nice stout.

This one actually smells like a stout. It has kind of a sharp sweetness, rather than the creamy sweetness as billed. A little more like the cherry you get from a barrel aged stout, but not as overwhelming and nauseating. Still not really my sort of thing, but not actively offensive this time.

A somewhat watery, slow to appear but sharp bitterness. Not particularly roasty. In fact it's very slow to even taste like a stout. I will admit that I get different things out of each sip. For instance, this last one had an odd sweet note. Very strange. I don't think in a good way.
I can't even pretend to rate this. It was basically tasteless after six high gravity beers.
