Dark amber. Light off-white head. Aroma is toasty & fruity. Medium body. Flavour is fruity, malty, lightly smokey & mildly hoppy.

Very dark brown color with just a hint of red poking through. Aroma is fruity and slightly malty. The body is similar, with hints of fruit and a nice malt backgroud. Much too timid, but not a terrible beer.

Bottle. Why they would even imply that this is a stout I'm not sure. Dark amber colour, slight tan head. Aroma is slightly roasted, hint of sweet malt. Slightly bitter with lightly roasted flavour. Palate is not bad, but could be better from something with stout on the label.

Interesting aroma, appearance is very dark. Hold it up to the light and you can’t see through the glass. Has a thin, watery palate and non-existent head. Overall a weak effort from Big Rock.

Good lightly roasted malt nose. I expected the flavor to be similar, but it was rather thin and weak. Nose promises more the the flavor delivers

Light head, low carbonization. Tastes almost like a sweet stout. Light flavour of licorice, coffee, and nuts.
