Dark cola pour with a frothy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweetness, and coffee. Tasty! Sweetness, chocolate, roasted malts, and a nice dry finish. Aftertaste of slight sweetness, and little bitterness. I have found a new tasty favorite. At 8 % ABV, you can’t really notice the alcohol. Some weekend I’ll have to get a 6-er to prove myself wrong.

Very thick tan head that leaves great lacing. Dark brown almost black in color. Nice sweet strong aroma. Malts, coffee and chocolate with something I can’t quite place. Possibly licorice. Flavor is chocolate with an undertone of coffee, not overly sweet. No malts were spared in this. Nice roasted flavor. Full bodied and smooth. Coats the mouth with a nice flavor. Little to no bitterness. Sometimes seem slightly watered down. Not very complex but great in its simplicity.

Pours a pitch black color,with a medium-sized tan head, and big sheets of lacing. Eggy aromas, with caramel, chocolate and marshmallow. Roasted nuts in the flavor, malty body, egg, caramel, slight milk chocolate. Thin-bodied, very smooth and creamy. Bitter finished, and well balanced overall. Enjoyed it.

bottle poured into a pint glass. big chocolate and some coffee aromas... pours an average black with a thin tan head. medium to full body with some vibrant carbonation up front and very smooth sides. a solid mix of chocolate and coffee make up the dominating flavors over the tongue... with some roasted malts and a slight bitterness. a very nice finish which brings the hop profile forward in the aftertaste. a very nice stout... a pleasure to drink.

Beer poors dark with a dark tan head. Aroma is very mellow but has a nice malty presence. Flavor is excellent with a slight sweetness and rich with notes of toffey and mild chocolate. Alchol presence is suprisingly subdued. Overall this beer is excellent. One of the best stouts I’ve had.

Pours a deep, dark red with a dense pillow of cocoa powder colored foam. The nose is of alcohol, maraschino cherries and fudge. The full, oily, viscous body wraps itself around the flavors of mocha, peanut, chocolate, and malt with very little of the heavy roastiness that i was expecting.

Deep brown/black pour with sizable head, which diminishes and retains as light pillowy remnant on top. Toasty almond and coffee aromas waft off the top with chewy chocolate notes plus raisiny, berry sugared quality. Tasty bittering backbone of this brew also illustrates some dusty coffee mocha chocolate touches and an earthy woodsy character as well. Fairly well constructed with layered complexity and good drinkability.

I drank a bottle at the Flying Saucer, it was surprisingly good! Good thick stout with a bold taste.
