Bottle. Jet black pour with ruby tints and a smallish beige head that leaves some good lacing. Roasty, chocolatey malts and licorice are present in the aroma along with plenty of hops. A hoppier aroma than many other stouts I’ve had. Solidly medium-bodied. Tons of roasty flavors and hops give this some real bitterness. Very drying. A bit of a chocolate/coffee taste along with some sourness.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Roasty, coffee-e, some fruitiness in it somewhere. Interesting flavors in there, kinda yummy, but not as intense as just about every other Avery.

Oct 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark dark dark brown almost black with a creamy, finger-width, light brown head. Dissipates pretty slowly and remains quite lacy. Good looking stout. Mellow aroma of mostly milk chocolate with some light roasts, caramel malts, and bittering hops. Flavor is similar. Mostly backended. Mildly roasty and chocolatey with a really enjoyable bitter ending. Not as potent as other stouts, but very nice for a lower ABV. Pretty well balanced and light to medium bodied. Overall, nice flavor and great lingering bitterness. A very nicely done stout.

Oct 26, 2008 A season Avery made it to Columbia. How about that. Roasty. Bit of caramel and hops.Pours real nice with lots of head and body. The colder it gets outside, the better this will be.

Oct 26, 2008 A pretty good lower ABV stout. Pour is black with a nose of coffee, chocolate, and malt. Flavor is similar. Would buy again in a pinch.

Oct 19, 2008 Pours almost black, sizable head for a stout. Malty, chocolaty, bitter, slightly coffee flavors. Good, not amazing.
