Commercial Description:
Not for the faint hearted! Our stout rewards the palate with robust flavor of roasted malts (malts are roasted like coffee beans) and heavy hops. A creamy smooth surprise.

Big roasty aroma, pours totally black with a medium sized tan head. Has lots of licorice and roasted malt flavor, finishes with moderate hops. the sweetness is perfect, any more would be too much, any less would take away the yummy factor. gotta give props for it being reasonably priced here in CA still. this one’s a no brainer.

nearly opaque mostly black pour with a cocoa colored head that fades to a ring. aromas of cream, chocolate, ashy roasted malts and a bit of coffee. the flavor has a lot going on. it’s surprisingly complex and smooth. notes of wood, chocolate, earth, dark dried fruit and a lingering aftertaste of coffee. it finishes lightly sour/dry/ashy/bitter (take your pick) and thankfully, isn’t too sweet. medium bodied and on the high side for carbonation.

Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, great texture with a nice dry finish.
Overall – A very good Stout this was a surprise as it sat for almost 2 years in the house add a move and hot garage storage. A great beer it cellars well.

Very dark black color, with a thick tan-colored head, fruity, cacao accent, roasted malt, dark malt, with a chocolatey aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet dark and roasted malt, with a smooth character of oatmeal, also touch of nutmeg spiciness, and a liquorice note, cacao beans flavor, with a dark coffee and dark chocolate hints, leading towards a lingering chocolate milk and a modest hop bittering finish. One of my favorite beers to take with me snowboarding.....;)

Bottle: Dark brown colored pour with little to no head. Sweet, chocolate, coffee aroma. Sweet, hoppy chocolate taste. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

12 oz bottle. Beer pours a dark black with a very weak head. It smells like a mix of dark chocolate and coffee. Taste is slightly dry with a rich mocha flavor. This happens to be my favorite, available session stout

Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of mild malts and unbalanced booziness. Watery, weak mouth feel and finish for the style. Not very exciting.

Excellent. Uber roasted aroma, body tastes heavily of toffee and chocolate. Very sweet beer with a nice mouth presence.
