Very good stout. The best beer they brew. Good Chocolate and coffee with good amount of roastiness. Great mouthfeel and body.

Nov 20, 2009 Appearance: Dark brown, near black body with a persisting, tan-colored head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of roasted and chocolate malts marked by a secondary, inappropriate note of diacetyl. Even with the buttery diacetyl, it smells a-ok.
Taste: Lightly sweet, malty tastes of chocolate and roasty, though not particularly bold coffee. As my dear, darling friend Fifi says, "it’s a bit mocha-ish." Good call, Feefers. Light touch of blackened grains are the source of the nominal bitterness present. Blackhorse is continually consistent in one facet -- each beer has some degree of buttery diacetyl present. Thankfully, it’s relatively light when set against the dark malt character and makes for a hint of Butterfingers. Roasty, Butterfinger-y finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: An above-average, acceptable stout (even with the diacetyl).

Oct 10, 2005 Poured an ink black color from the growler with a little tan head. Great malt smells of roasted coffee and chocolate. The taste followed the same with caramel, coffee, and roasted but also a slight hint of hops. Left a light bitter aftertaste. Full, creamy body.
