Tinted head, dissappears totally after a while, leaves a coke-like brew but with much more taste. Sturdy body, slightly sweet, powerful chocolate and roast coffee flavors. This is a strong stout and that is very apparent.

Bottle. Big frothy light brown head. Clear near-black body with a red glow. Smells bready and malty; on the sweet side with a low hop level. Taste is malty and sweet. Also with some some pleasant tones of licorice, dark chocolate and fruit (ripe pears, plums and dried dates). Healthy body. Light sticky mouthfeel. Sugar and light bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Tasted alongside Obsidian Stout, one of my favorite six-pack stouts. Pours oily black. Sharp malty aroma. Slick mouthfeel. More smooth than Obsidian. Long finish, not sweet, not bitter.

Solid black color with thin tan head. Sweet malty nose with bready grapelike aroma. Palate has a tingly feel. Roast coffee taste offers complex arrary of flavors.
