Wow, this one was a very nice surprise. Pours black with tan head. Aroma of dark fruit with slight coffee notes. Taste is very smooth/silky slight coffee, dark fruit (cherry?) and finished with a nice coffee bite. Very good, would drink again.

Pours almost jet black with a nice amount of head, just shy of half an inch on the initial pour. Full bodied, but very smooth. On the aroma I get malts, chocolate, ever so slight coffee and slight slight hints of toffee. On the palate I am getting chocolate, like silky smooth choclate, some hop bite there and coffee along with a hint of toffee as well. I like this one. Also considering where it is from very nice beer indeed.

This beer has quite a lot of character going for it. It pours a dark color with a very full body. The head retention is quite good, as is the strong dark chocolate aroma. In many ways this reminds me of Stone’s Russian Imperial Stout except that this beer is not quite as complex. The flavors of chocolate, mocha and some coffee linger on the palate for quite a while afterwards.

This is a new find for me. Dark with light cream head. Easy to drink, a tad sweet. Found in Lexington SC at Sam’s for $8.99 a six, drink early and often!

Bottle. Dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, coffee and smoke. Sweet malty base with a bitterness more from roasted grains not hops, alcohol is well hidden. Full body with a creamy smooth mouth feel. This is a very good beer and for the price can’t be beat. I wish I could get this locally, would be great for an evening when an Imperial Stout is just too much.
