Bottle: IMO this is better out of the bottle. Pours a rich deep brown/black with a generous foamy head. Smells delicious, like roasted coffee, chocolate malts, and some scalded milk. Great mouthfeel, rich flavor of burnt coffee, dark chocolate, maybe some vanilla. A little sweet, but very tasty.

One of the most heavily roasted malt flavors I have had in a beer. Simply put this is a very good beer, although I wouldn’t consider it a stout or "emperical stout" as they call it. I feel this is more of a porter. It is thin on the palate but leaves a nice aftertaste (more than I expected!) Not many flavors here, but it is well balanced.

Bottle. Pours a pretty deep, dark brown with a generous tan head. Aroma is deeply roasted malts, coffee and some bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is roasted malts, bitter coffee, some caramel. Good mouthfeel. Tasty and very drinkable.

On draught at Smokin’ Joes. Light carbonic gassy aroma with mild chocolate malted milkshake and coffee. Dark, dark oily black, with thin cocoa-creme, lightly laced head. Medium watery body, lightly chewy, with medium carbonation. Fairly creamy. Starts with lots of chocolate and coffee. Malted milkshake, tons of lactic creaminess. Dry roasted bitterness at the finish but overall, fairly sweet. Light carbonic tang and alcohol. Enjoyable stout.
