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.

650 mL bottle. Aroma of dark roasted malt, chocolate, and dried fruit. Silky full bodied palate. Sweet taste with a smooth bitterness at the finish. A decent stout.

Bottle. Pours black/dark brown with a one finger thick tan head. Aroma is very roasty with nice chocolate tones, as well as a bit of coffee, and even a hoppy touch. Flavor is much the same. Sweet roasty malts, bitter chocolate, and a bit of hops. Mouthfeel is creamy and slightly coating.

Bottle. Pours a flat black with a frothy, light brown head. Aroma predominantly a heavy roasted coffee with chocolate and molasses notes. Slick, soft, and creamy palate with a slightly bitter finish. Nice malty aftertaste. I liked this one.

Poured nice and black with a khaki head. Had some roasted choclate aroma. Can taste the hops with a smooth palate. Nice example of a stout

Bottle. This stout poured so amazingly black that no light comes through at all much like a cola. A dark brown medium head tops off this beer. The aroma was heavy on the bitter chocolate and reminded me of grape juice. Strangely this sweet grape juice smell carries over in the flavor much like welches grape juice but also with hints of chocolate. A long bitter hop aftertaste. Not too bad... but that grape flavor was a bit strange for sure.
