Commercial Description:
Highland's most robust beer, having a very malty body with a large, roasted chocolate flavor. It is black in color with a very clean finish and a moderate hop flavor.

Awesome low Abv. Stout. Great flavors of coffee, malt, and mocha. Easily the best stout I have had under 8% abv.

Poured very black from 22 oz bomber, forming off brown foamy head. Aroma of coffee, deep dark roasted malts, chocolates and raw vanilla. Flavour much of the same, coffee and chocolates dominate with a nice hoppish end, decent stout, bitterness and sweetness balance out well.

22oz. bottle shared by cdumler and purchased at Sam’s Quik Shop. Pours a deep, dark brown with a medium, creamy head. Weak aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Taste is bitter roasted malts and coffee. Medium to full bodied.

12oz. Thanks to bitbucket! Black with thin head. Light stout with good roast, some ash and slightly sweet chocolate. Medium body and very smooth and clean. Enjoyable, but not mind blowing.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good stout here. This was nice and dark and roasty, and pretty much had all the right moves. Looking forward to hitting this place when we get up to Asheville.

Bomber! Thanks to OldStyleCubFan, the last of the many bottles this guy hooked me up with. Poured a dark brown color with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts/barley, coffee, and some chocolate. Mouthfeel is somewhat smooth but a bit on the watery side. Taste is roasty, chocolate, coffee, vanilla. It is good overall, one of the better regular stouts I’ve had. Thanks guy! and go Cubs!
