I’ve had this many times. In general, I think it’s an overrated beer that is somewhat weak in flavor for a stout, and better ones are out there.

Large thick creamy head which stays untill the last sip, creamy coffee aroma. taste seems to vary depending on how its pourred or how fresh it is. good strong roasted taste with a hint of coffee. creamy bitter finish. sometimes a little bit sweet towards the end but this seems to depend on where I get it.

Tap. Wonderful black-brown color with a thick, creamy head which cascades into the beer. Aroma of coffee and smoke, and a hint of fresh baked bread. Nice mouth feel, a little less full than one would think from the look of it, but good. Chocolate, coffee, and molasses tastes with a nice sharp bitterness. Finishes clean with some left over bitterness wanting you to drink more. A solid standard.

The classic stout (though not necessarily the best one). Looks good when poured well- creamy, thick and black. Creamy, dry and bitter with hints of coffee and a rather chocolaty aroma. Can be sweet if poured in a certain way. Usually has a bitter finish. Also a bit filling.
