This black ale poured with a thin tan head and a chocolate aroma. There is an intense chocolate malt flavor that is creamy and thick. The finish is roasted coffee. Very tasty.

bottle, very dark brown pour, smal foamy brown head, roasted malty nose, flavor is very much roast coffee and a hop dry finish

Pours a very dark black stout with some brown showing around the edges. The head is one finger thick tan and creamy. The nose was very rich, molasses, coffee, roasty, chocolate, some hop bitterness. The flavor was rich and chocolaty, molasses, light alcohol, definitive hop backbone. Very tasty stout.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasting, and a hint of hops. Poured black in color with a medium-sized, rocky, dark brown head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Sparkling. Small lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of chocolate, malts, cream, coffee, roasting, and hops. Medium body. Viscous, chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Bittersweet chocolate and roasting, lightly dry finish.

22 oz. bottle. Big aroma of earthy, spicy hops, oats and breadiness, burnt malts and a shot of espresso. Black as night with a nice, khaki head that lasts the entire time down the chute. Ah, the first sip: So fun. So new. So, complex? Very. A burnt espresso bite is complemented by deep chocolate overtones, washing in to those bready and earthy notes that thankfully overshadow the fruity esters lurking in the background. Big bitter finish that lingers and is slightly clashing with the previously mentioned aspects, but manages to clean up nicely. Mouthfeel was medium-heavy with just the right amount of carbonation. A delicious stout and a great bang-for-the-buck, especially considering we’re on opposite coasts.

On tap at the almost famous Blind Tiger. Not mch of a head atop of the standard black, oily body. Aroma is plenty hoppy with lots of tasty coffee. Flavor has a nice burnt espresso thing along with a slight amount of lactic acid. Nice and bitter with a long finish. Easy drinking and just a bit on the sweet side.
