Bottle. This is fantastic! To drink this beer, you feel like eating a fine piece of dark chocolate. The best stout I´ve ever tasted. So many impressions from malt, chocolate, raisin and ?? Outstanding and fantastic.

Very nice stout. Has a thick chocolate malt scent and a licorice scent as well. Has a beautiful chocolate malt; roasted flavor, beautifully balanced. The finish is smooth mocha. Great flavor.

Probably the best deal on a beer out there. Flavor is hints of coffee, chocolate and dark fruit, has a slightly bitter finish. Very good straight forward stout. I keep coming back to this one.

Bottle. Pours thick dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some sweetness. Flavor repeats. Nice and thick. ABV quite the bonus.

Poured from bottle an inky black with large mocha tan head. Aroma is almost woody with roast coffee and some vinegary tartness. Flavor is milk chocolate with roast grain and coffee and a mild tartness with a little smoke in the finish. Palate is surprisingly smooth with a mild creamy sweetness to start moving into a little tart and finishing with a milky coating of the tongue. Nice beer and exceptionally easy to drink.

Nice stout. Very black pour with a brown head. Aroma is super chocolatey and dark dried fruits as well. Flavor is full of chocolate and moderately sweet. Some molasses on the tongue too. A slight hint of bitterness if very nice.

From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured black with dark tan head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate followed by similar tastes. Much better than expected. Great value.
