This stout packs a powerful punch. One of the few non-British/non-Irish stouts I’ll drink.

This is a big, complex stout that straddles between dry and sweet, regular and imperial, session and single. Huge aroma of currant, roast malts, coffee. Ink black. Beautiful deep tan head with lacing. Lots of roast flavor, but also very sweet from a chocolate and toffee flavor, burnt brown sugar too. Finish keeps switching between dry and sweet, and a lingering alcohol taste never overwhelms. Basically a superb stout, deserves many more pours.

bottle, pours black with a tall light tan head. Roasted coffee and soy sauce aroma. Semi sweet chocolate and sweet roasted malt end with a lingering sweet chocolate flavor. A little too sweet for me, but it’s not bad.

Reviewed 9/13/2009 (Bottle): Pours an extremely dark brown color body, huge head, light tan, very lasting, creamy. Roasty aroma, some espresso, maybe chocolate. Very good smelling. Creamy mouthfeel, coffee and chocolate flavors. Slight ashiness. A little boozy. Less hot as it warms up. Very good tasting.

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.

33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Impressively creamy deep tanned head. Almost purely chocolate aroma with a nice infusion of raisin. Sweet with a building alcohol presence that ends with a very satisfying finish.
