Nearly blacked topped by a tan head. Aroma of roasted barley backed by some toffee like sweetness. Restrained roasted coffee flavors balanced by a light chocolate sweetness. Nice full bodied creaminess. Finishes with a slightly toasted/smoky character. A pretty solid stout overall.

Nice stout that’s full of roasted goodness with both sweet wet flavors and drier ones. Roasted nuts and sweet malts. Nice one.

Light, roasted aroma with some sweet malt. Flavor is roasted coffee, with milk chocolate and malt. Mouthfeel is creamy.

Pitch black in the glass with a small brown head. Smells like dark chocolate and coffee. Feels full in my mouth, no overhwelming flavor. Everything is nicely balanced. Coffee notes in the finish are very nice. Deep, but also a very refreshing beer. Slight soy notes. Wonderful for any time.

Pours black with a robust tan head and great lacing, aroma of roasted malts, flavor is a balance of black and roasted malts with a sweetness in the finish balanced nicely with some hop bitterness. Overall, a solid example of a sweet stout.

On tap @ Lancaster Brewing Harrisburg. Dark brown with mahogany edges, tan head with lacing. Full aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Sweet with a roasty bitterness. Medium to full body with mild carbonation and a long roasty coffee finish. Very nice.

On tap at SPTR poured into a pint glass. Nice thick head on this sucker; can’t remember if there was lacing. Smell is of mild coffee and chocolate; some alcohol, but not much. Taste is of milk chocolate. By that I mean that it’s a sweet (for a stout) taste with chocolate malt undertones. Coffee was also present. Very smooth beer but not creamy due to the fact that it was well carbonated and not quite thick enought to be considered creamy. Overall a good beer. I had this once a long time ago in bottles and it wasn’t nearly as good. I hope that my bottle experience was just a bad batch. Not one of the best stouts out there but, especially if you like sweet stouts, worth a drink.
