Bottle. Near black pour with a rich, creamy tan head. Nose of black licorice and molasses. Coffee, nuts, and plum flavors. Very smooth. Didn’t overwhelm me with flavors, just really smooth and balanced. Nice stuff.

Very good. Full bodied and full flavored. Not very complex. All roasted malt and molasses flavor. Lightly sweet. Very dense, but still drinkable. No taste of alcohol. Smooth taste and finish.

bottle. This beer pours a dark dark brown almost black body. The aroma is extremely roasty - as is the taste. Pretty good for 8% as well. Nice stout.

Dark beer, light brown head. Thick but not heavy. Smooth and alcohol well-hidden. Caramel flavors and somewhat spicy. Not bad but a little watery.

Bottle. Black color with a pale brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, molasses, dark fruit and some alcohol. The flavor is malty, roasted/slightly burned and sweet. Notes of coffee, dark fruit, molasses, cocoa/chocolate, a bit sourish, metall, and a hint of alcohol.

12oz Bottle: Dark brown, almost black, w/ a large creamy brown head. Roasty malt aroma w/ a hint of smoke & alcohol. Flavor starts w/ a little sweetness fading into roasted malt w/ some coffee & a bit of cocoa. Slightly bitter & dry finish. Alcohol is hidden well, but the palate comes up short, too thin. Smooth & quite good though.

Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière se présente avec une robe noire opaque et un énorme col de mousse brun. Au nez on découvre des arômes de caramel, de vanille, de café et de chocolat noir. En bouche la bière est ronde et crémeuse. Elle nous dévoiles des flaveurs de café, d’alcool, de vanille, de caramel au beurre et de chocolat noir. Excellent
