color meduim black,head tan and thin aromas of coffee,malts and hops taste was of coffee malts and hops, hoppier than most sweet stouts i have had

Pours pitch black with a fully receding tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast. Taste is sweet with mild roast and plenty of chocolate and raisins. Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied with soft carbonation.

From 22oz bottle. I was actually kind of surprised it was rated this high. Pours black with a thin tan head. Minimal aroma, some roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. I thought it was a bit thin. For a sweet stout, I recently had FFF Moloko and I recommend that instead.

Opaque black, light roasted malts, chocolate, little coffee, little grainy, slight hops.

Bottle. Black beer with a tan head. Roasty, choclate aroma with light toffee. Roasty, chocolate flavor with PNW hops backing. Medium bodied. Chocolate, roast, and caramel lingering. Solid. beer.

Between the head and body, this is a big beer. A low ABV means it doesn’t taste entirely like alcohol. Chocolate notes dominate, very tasty.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep, oily, opaque black. Slight tan head, dissipates quickly. Aroma is roasty, malty. Flavor is toasted bread, malt, and a musky aftertaste. Some nice chocolate and coffee notes too. Palate is very lively, a bit thin, but not bad. Overall I enjoyed this stout very much.

Thin! A little hazelnut flavor shines through but leaves you looking for more. Comes off with a cheap pale ale taste to it smothered by almost burnt malt. A little disappointing.
