Black color with a small brown head. Has a dry, milk chocolate, dark fruity malt smell. Thin to medium bodied with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Taste is fairly sweet with plums, cherries, chocolate , and a smoked malt flavor. Finishes with a dry, slightly bitter, dark roasted malt taste.
A very tasty stout. The smell here reminds Stones IRS.
curtaincrawler (1), La Grande, Oregon, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jan 5, 2008 I really enjoy this beer. Unlike a lot of dark beers I have had, this beer is not bitter and nasty. The malty chocolate flavor is pleasant and does not leave your mouth feeling violated. I also use this beer in recipes calling for dark beer as it lends a nice flavor to beef dishes.
