Poured from a 12oz bottle (Batch 8150) and served in an English pint glass. This stout poured a solid black with a thin head of dark tan foam that faded away into a single layer of bubbles. Just a touch of lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of rich milk chocolate notes, fresh coffee, and some burnt malts. The flavor consisted of light burnt malts and a heavy dose of creamy dark chocolate. The mouthfeel was creamy, smooth, and medium-bodied with a nice level of carbonation. An awsome stout that is tasty and quite sessionable as well. One of my favorites!

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.
