Pours dark brown with large tan head. Aroma has lots of roastiness and bitter chocolate. Surprisingly thick, rich mouthfeel. Flavors of chocolate and some espresso.

Good mild stout. A little more heaviness, and this would be perfect. Delicious.

This one packs some punch. Big bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee and malty sweetness. All blending very well, with a creamy mouthfeel and light to moderate carbonation. A pleasant dry and mouth puckering finish is very welcome. This just goes down so smooth, so quick at 8% and less than $2 a bottle.....what’s not to like? A fantastic stout.

bottle poured into a pint glass. big chocolate and some coffee aromas... pours an average black with a thin tan head. medium to full body with some vibrant carbonation up front and very smooth sides. a solid mix of chocolate and coffee make up the dominating flavors over the tongue... with some roasted malts and a slight bitterness. a very nice finish which brings the hop profile forward in the aftertaste. a very nice stout... a pleasure to drink.

Good Dark beer. Great after taste.The texture is not too heavy good to the palate. Reminds me of Scotch Ale.

330 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a dark black colour with a hint of rubiness and a large lacey mocha head. Aroma nicely balances roasted malt, coffee notes and a pleasant sweetness. Flavour has roasted malt, coffee and sweet chocolate. A really nice balance of roastiness and sweetness. Very creamy mouthfeel. Burnt, slightlly bitter finish. Very impressive.

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.
