Commercial Description:
Black as coal in color, this bottle conditioned Stout has a velvety rich and sweet malt aroma. After pouring, a dense brown head gives way to a big, full-bodied and creamy texture that has flavors of roasted coffee and black currants, blending perfectly with the malt. A generous amount of hops add balance and complexity to this extraordinary stout that will continue to improve with age. A worthy beer to cellar and enjoy throughout the year.

A coal black pour with a tan head and lace. An aroma of medicinal chocolate? and a hint of abv. A flavor that almost goes to chocolate but slips back pretty hard to the coffee side. A bit of abv in this somewhat warm 8.4% beer. The carbonation and mouthfeel are solid as well. The abv not hidden as well as you would think but not really bad at all.

Very dark pour out of this 12 oz bottle that was courtesy of jayg. Awesome aromas of malted chocolate. We actually started talking about Whoppers at the table. Flavors were nice too. More chocolate and some mocha. Bitter finish was nice too. Very good.

Dark black with a foamy brown head. Dark chocolate and caramel aroma with hints of malt and hops. Roasted malts and chocolate on the body with a smooth finish with a dry fruit characteristic.

Pours a deep black with a chocolate colored head. The nose is strong with dark chocolate, malt, caramel, and hops. The taste is a thick, smooth chocolate and malt, with hints of coffee and hops. Very nice.

Bottle from trade. Pours a black color with a nice size tan head. Thick and oily with a wonderful aroma of roasted malt and dark chocolate. Taste is semi sweet chocolate, coffee, and malt. Not much hop flavor noticed. Finshes smooth and sweet with a bit of fermented fruit in the after taste.
