A very nice stout. Dark brown head to a very nearly pitch black beer. Nice roasted flavor with the lightest hint of cherry.

wow, i’m shocked at these low rating..guess i just liked something in the beer the others didnt. 100% opaque, slight light brown head, mild roasty coffee aroma. bitter chocolate coffee flavors with the bitterness lingering into the finish...hoppiest Stout I’ve had.

This beer is really, really good. That"s the bottom line. So what if it"s more of a porter than a stout and the label shows entirely too much chest hair, it"s still a nice bittersweet slightly smoky brew

pours like oil, zero head. A nice little stout flavor. No taste sticks out, but they all blend well.

Again, a great looking bottle, however this time the beer backs it up. Dark, dark color and a small head. Nice aroma some chocolate and coffe present. Good flavor with a feel that is present in most stouts. Very nice indeed.

Opaque black with a rocky brown head. Tons of lacing. The aroma is stemmy (vegetable bitterness) with a certain sweetness. I taste roasted malt and chocolate, but not much else. It's a quality beer, just might be a bit simple for some. I enjoyed mine, though.

Has a bit of a sweet sugary aroma. Decent sized mocha colored head on a coal black pour. Very full-bodied flavor with some nutty undertones. The hops come through in the tail end as well. Strange aftertaste of smoked oysters! Not unpleasant - just different. Enjoyed reading the bottle as well. - "Do not leave fresh beer in saddle bags of white donkeys. Store cold!"

big roasted aroma, roasted, dry, hoppy with a kinda metallic aftertaste, my main beef is that it’s way too light bodied
