Pours a dark deep brown with a tall toasty brown head. Aromas of sugar, chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and a hint of licorice. Similar flavours in this one. Sweet and a little creamy. Medium body. Finishes nice with some dry bitterness and a real coffee kick. Happy Anniversary.

Aug 10, 2008 Near black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of chared malts, flint, coffee, and some light caramel malts. Nice and roasty in the mouth (coffee and dark chocolate malts), along with some caramel, mild licorice, and vanilla to round things out. Medium bodied, which makes it one of the heaviest dry stouts that I’ve had. Quite well balanced. Much better than Carlow’s regluar dry stout.

Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, chocolate, coffee), light hops (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of prune and wood. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness and acidity, moderate bitterness.
