Wow! this brew was great. Full-bodied but not too heavy. Tastes like a smooth chocolate coffee. You won’t even taste the alcohol

What an outstanding stout. I’ve heard good things about this beer for a long time and I’m really glad that I got a chance to try it. It has a great aroma of coffee,and dark chocolate. It has a good light sweet taste and a great after taste. Sits very well in the mouth. Grab one now!!!

Aroma is subtle with hints of dark chocolate and faint molasses.Typical in color and with very little head retention, this may not be the most impressive looking stout you’ll see but upon drinking it proves itself quite fantastic! Very soft mouth feel with roasted coffee and semi-sweet chocolate flavors. Very malty and with just enough hops to notice but not complicate or overpower. Tastes very fresh and lively and has a clean, malty aftertaste of medium length. Overall, this has become the best stout I have yet had as it includes all the qualities I have long searched for.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pitch black with a monstrous brown head. Smells of cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, caramel, earth, and mineral. Medium carbonation with a medium rich mouthfeel. A rich palate with earth, burnt sugar, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of mineral. The alcohol is very well hidden. Rich caramel notes come out as the beer warms. Medium finish with a lingering earth and caramel notes. Overall and excellent stout with great drinkability. Great lacing all the way down the glass too.

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!
