Pours black with nice head. Very bitter stout. I see that this is suppose to be the kings shit, but I disagree. Not bad, but not great thatnk you.

Rich stout. Good taste overall. Lots of coffee, though not a heavy body. Lots of flavor. Surprise all around.

This stout packs a powerful punch. One of the few non-British/non-Irish stouts I’ll drink.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pitch black with a monstrous brown head. Smells of cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, caramel, earth, and mineral. Medium carbonation with a medium rich mouthfeel. A rich palate with earth, burnt sugar, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of mineral. The alcohol is very well hidden. Rich caramel notes come out as the beer warms. Medium finish with a lingering earth and caramel notes. Overall and excellent stout with great drinkability. Great lacing all the way down the glass too.

12 oz bottle via trade. Pours out black as pitch with a frothy tan head and some light lacing. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, light roast and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor is sweet, chocolate, coffee, a bit of roast and smokiness, and it’s got a nice, dry finish. A very good stout, glad I have another bottle to enjoy later on!
