A nice little stout. It is somewhat lighter on my palate than expected. Coffee flavors dominate with a lingering finish that sort of floats on and on. It should be good with curries.

A good stout. I enjoyed this. Chocolate and coffee dominate. Decent hop back bone. High alcohol and almost slightly off balanced, but not quite.

One of my persoal favorites for a stout...always a good standby. Carbonated, some chocolate and coffee...bit mochaish throughout. Nice beer warmth.

Black with a small, creamy, mostly diminishing light brown head. No lacing. The palate is creamy with a pretty thin body and soft carbonation. Aroma is heavy with malty molasses, raisins, bread, banana and vanilla. The flavour is salty with strong hints of sweet butterscotch toffee and chocolate and with subtle hints of cherry and licorice. The finish is bitter and fruity. It was ok but in no way stunning.

Bottle. Pours with a balck color and a fairly enthusiastic head. Aromas of chocolate and some coffee notes. Flavors of coffee and some hops, not much alcohol noticeable. Very nice smooth mouthfeel.

Pours black with a fizzy, macro-bubble tan head that disipates quickly and leaves no lacing. The nose is of strong roasted coffee (slightly stale), chocolate, dark fruit and vanilla/wood. The flavour retained the same roasted coffee and chocolate malts with the addition of tobacco and smoked malt, giving off subtle hints of bacon. There is a dried fruit presence, too mid-palate and some sweet butterscotch toffee in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slick, with gentle, yet tingly carbonation. Flavours are not affected by the abv as the alcohol is extremely well hidden. The drinkablity and quenching quality of this odd stout would make it a good session brew, if you like getting hammered.

The is a rather dark black which at first had a thick tan head with large bubbles, but it faded rather quick. The aroma is very robust and strong i can smell it clearly from about 6 inches from the glass. It is full of earth and vegtables that are just popping outas well as some roasted coffee and chocolate malt. As i take my first sip i get a nice warm jergy like taste and a dry texture on the tip of my tounge. The carbonation makes for a nice pop of flavor on the back of my mouth and you cant tell that there is much booze at all. There are also some roasted coffee and hints of chocolate as well on the palate.
