Commercial Description:
Chocolate malt and roasted barley provide the dark color and fully body of chocolate stout. Toasy accents and a hoppy dryness add to this smooth brew. An old time favorite you'll remember.

Bottle in frosted English Pint glass. Pours to a dark brown with a thin, lasting tan head. I’ve got a bit of a cold so I can’t say what the scent is (I’ll rate it a 7 as that seems to be about average.) Taste is not as heavy as I would have expected for something this dark in color. Coffee and roasted malt are the most present in flavor, with light, sweet chocolate hiding in the back. As it finishes you are left with a perfect amount of bitterness, begging you to take another sip. I wasn’t expecting something this complex. A little thin on the palate, but overall I’d say this is a good (almost great) chocolate stout.

Bottle. Deep mahogany with a nice long lasting head. Aroma is sweet and chocolaty, but bitter and acetic on the tongue. The roasted sweetness carries through for a bit, but finishes very dry and somewhat tart.

bottle poured into a snifter has a brown color and minimal off white head. aroma has lightly roasted chocolate malt, coffee, sweet, and a little lactic. mouth feel is light for a stout with little carbonation. flavor has heavy chocolate malt, light roasted coffee, little bitterness, and fading sweetness. finish is somewhat dry with hop bitterness picking up. not the most hearty stout but the flavors are alright.

Pours a dark brown/black with a 2 finger creamy tan head. The nose is sweet, chocolatey, coffee, malty, little to no roast. The flavor is thin, roasty, bitter, sweet, bitter coffee, bakers chocolate. The palate is a tad thin, dry bitter chocolate.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate tan head that lasted until mid-glass and left no lace. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. The flavor is predominately tobacco with some roasted malt and a touch of chocolate. Unfortunately, the flavor does not mimic the aroma, and I am not a big fan of tobacco flavors. Mild-moderate bitterness at the finish.
