Thanks for sharing a bottle, iowaherekeye. The black body was topped with an orange brown head. The aroma was strong coffee and dark chocolate. There was also some chocolate chip pancakes. The taste was plums and light coffee. There was also some burnt pancakes. A nice stout, even though the bomber was a little underfilled.

bottle from odeed and irishboy: pours a good black colour with a thick tan head that is creamy and lasts. aroma is full of bitter chocolate adn coffee, very small smoke and nice smooth toffeee malts. flavour is very roasted and a deep chocolate flavour, good creamy mouth feel with hints a gain at smoke and plenty of coffee taste. finishes well and just a tiny bit of the alcohol.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with zathrus13 (thanks!). This one poured all off white head. Eventually settled to a dark brown. Aromas of lots of roastiness, chocolate, coffee with cream, and light smoke. Tastes of caramel, vanilla, light smoke, milk chocolate, roast, and coffee. Alcohol content well hidden.

Bottle shared by aspidites, deep brown pour with a thin, tan head. The nose and flavor a lighly sweet but more smoke. Dry finish.

Courtesy of Irishboy via Quake1028. Chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, vanilla cream and a fairly heady alcohol perfume make up the aroma. Nice. The body is black with a diminishing, but originally quite thick and full, mocha head. The fore is very hot for a sweet stout which I don’t think this really is. Cocoa/chocolate liqueur is the effect. It has a nice mouth feel and never loses that smooth semi-sweet chocolate flavor profile from start to finish. An Imperial Sweet Stout I guess. Whatever it is, it drinks very nicely and I enjoy it.

Bottle shared at Cbus Tasting 11. Pour was black. Aroma was roasted coffee. Flavor was sweet chocolate, sweet malts, and coffee. Caught a hint of vanilla and fruit. I love sweet stouts and this one was very drinkable and much enjoyed.
