[330 ml. bottle] Dark black pour with a thick brown head. Chocolaty and malty aroma with a slight touch of hops. Flavor starts with a chocolate malt taste and goes to a smooth coffee middle and a slight hoppy bitterness at the end.

bottle. pitch black body with a large rich mocha head. aroma is largely of roasted malt and creamy coffee notes. creamy roast body with lots of chocolate essence. silky smooth body with a touch of alcohol peering through in the finish. a very nice stout. hopefully the LCBO keeps this on hand on their general list and at $1.85/bottle you can’t go wrong.

I had it on tap at Andy’s. It has a variety of different flavors in it. It is dark brown in color with a nice fluffy head. It is a lovely stout. Nice and robust coffee flavor. Slight hop character. Caramel notes. Well balanced beer. Full bodied. Enjoyable.

You guys are all crazy. This was the most magnificent and unique stout that I have ever tried. Great cocoa and mocha flavors. Although, mine was very fresh which could definitely help.

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.

Pours very dark brown with a brown head that leaves fairly quickly. Aroma has rich dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla and cream. Medium / thin mouthfeel with medium light carbonation. Starts out creamy and roasty with flavors detected on the aroma. Finish is prickly on the tongue with a citrus hoppiness. There is also some spiciness on the finish. The finish was nothing I would expect from a stout, but a very good beer.
