Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

Bottle. A pitch black beer with no head. The aroma is of coffee and bitter chocolate - lovely. The flavor is sweet and yet bitter from coffee notes and bitter chocolate notes combined with hints of smoke.

Bottle aquired in trade from StFun. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Roasted malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Smooth and even on the palate. Just a tad thin or I would have thought it was an imperial stout. An overall great brew.

From STFun trade. This stout was excellent. For a straight stout, it exhibited more maltiness, balance, and consistent flavor than most (if not all) I’ve had. Nice sized head and lacing. The carmel and coffee flavors and smells were apparent.

dchmela..........you’re the MAN!!! I really liked this. BLACK in the body. Pretty malty, and caramel and coffee smells are present. Very smooth and creamy. Not too bubbly. Not sure if I like it as much as Java Stout, but I really like it.

Thanks to msante79 for this one. One of the nicest stouts I have had. Has the deep roasted malt tastes, but not overpowering like some stouts that taste like an ash tray. Smooth and creamy feel. Roasted malt blended with deep chocolate and coffee. All well blended.
