(Nitro) Pours a opaque black body with a creamy beige head and nice lacing. Aroma of roastiness, refreshing light sourness, nuts, and toffee. Flavor of caramel, light sourness, floral, roasted malt, and chocolate.

Tap at Gingerman, post-2nd Houston Tasting. Pours a beautiful jet-black with a solid cream head. Raisiny chocolate nose with just a hint of smoke. Tastes like a bastardized mixture of molasses and raisin. Full mouthfeel. Not a good stout, in my opinion.

Taster at the Flying Saucer. Black in color with a decent (beautiful looking) head. Dark coffee and toffee aromas. Chocolate and prune notes in the flavor. First time I had ever heard of this beer. Tasting card says it’s a world premier, another above average but not awesome beer from Belhaven.

Appears brown in the glass, with a spider-like, wispy and thin head that is nearly white, maybe a little tan. Aroma is mainly dominated by dark fruits (grapes, plums, apples), but also has some very light notes of cocoa, caramel and cookie. Flavor is pretty well balanced for a dead, filtered beer. Dark fruits, with hints of caramel, cocoa. It’s a fairly decent beer.

hold your breath, come with me .. this was a bit of a disappointment, i guess i am spoiled on US impy stouts ... good roast quality ... low foam .. great label (tap handle) ... honestly a bit boring, easy to drink, but wheres the beef, no real uniqueness ... i am really happy i tried it but what else ...

Pitch black pour. Little aroma. Mostly dark malts. Taste has a lot of dark heavy malts. Not a lot of coffee or chocolate which I was hoping for but not bad. Founders blows this away though.
