Pours black with a light brown hue with a chocolate milk head that dies to a thick ring. Laces nicely. Smells of roasted malt with notes of vanilla and coffee. Tasty with dark roasted malt. The coffee shows nicely and vanilla is slightly more than an afterthought. Smooth as silk in the mouth and not as bulky as an impy stout leading it to be very drinkable. A tasty brew.

Dec 3, 2008 Pours black with a nice tan head from the bottle. More smokey than creamy, which I found strange. Raisin, pepper, and faint cocoa are also detectable. Much different than what I was anticipating, but still up to the bells standard.

Nov 28, 2008 (11.26.08) 12 oz. bottle: Black pour with small light brown head. Roasty aroma of coffee, milk chocolate. Creamy palate, typical of a sweet stout. Flavor is like the nose, milky, roasty, malty.

Nov 28, 2008 Thick near black, very light head. Roasty oily aroma. Roast bitterness. Vanilla bean? Hops come on late. Licorice. Basically similar to any other good American stout.
