Pours dark black; initially a brown head that fades to nothing; no lacing, though I drank this 12 oz bottle over a couple hours. Nice, full, warm aroma of chocolate, roast, caramel, and vanilla. Tastes the way it smells but slightly tart; the light bitterness in the finish does not quite stand up to the roastiness, so some might say this is unbalanced, but I personally don’t mind. Probably a bit thin in the body for the style; moderately sticky. Drinkable, yet forgettable.

Jul 14, 2008 Aroma: milk, coffee, roasted, chocolate, tobacco, burnt.
Flavour: sweetish, milk chocolate, caffè latte, pretty mild & soapy.
Palate: sappy, milky & fizzy. Slightly fat & bubbly.
Appearance: blackish brown with dark beige head. Pretty nice.

Jul 8, 2008 Pours a clear black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted grain and malt. Roasty sweet caramel malt and chocolate flavor. A bit thin on the palate. Not bad for a six pack stout.

does not count  Jul 6, 2008 A stout on steroids- looks, feels, smells and tastes great. A nice blend of bitter and sweet.
This came as a beer of the month club item, and I usually dread when they ship a stout; but I’d actually buy this onr. I’ve never said that about a stout before; even if it came from Ireland; and you know who I mean.

Jul 5, 2008 Strong roasted aroma, pours black as pitch, the the is strong but very smooth, not bitter like some stouts. Very drinkable, right now, I wish I had two...

Jul 3, 2008 Sampled out of a bottle. Pours nice and dark. Has a lot of good malts and roasted flavors. Color is quite dark and the bubbels have a very nice dark hue.
