Really enjoyed this beer...mahogany edges but black at the core, this beer sports a nice 1-inch khaki head. Aroma is that of tobacco, chocolate, espresso, and vanilla. Taste also exhibits the same tobacco and roasted malt characteristics. Sweet and interesting. A bit oily but overall a nice surprise!!!

I read one comment that spoke of it being a great cigar beer and i totally agree with tthat. This is what I wrote on my own spreed sheet: Chocolate-like finish with a full fun body.

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.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a big billowing tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, chocolate, black coffee, some smokiness, some soy and vailla. Flavor starts with a quick super smooth creamy chocolate malt character. Very rich milky cocoa and light coffee beans. Very sweet up to the dry finish with just a nip of dark chocolate bitterness. Medium to full super silky body and soft carbonation. Really tasty stout, I’d love to drink this at a pub all night.

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.

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.
