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.

Pours black with a pretty sturdy whit-ish head. Aroma is lots of dry roastiness with some condensed milk sweetness. Flavor is very dry, a bit sweet, an rather roasty. There is a touch of sourness, a bit like a malted milk ball, that I don’t particularly care for but is not unpleasant, but this taste seems common in a lot of stouts. Mouthfeel is not thick, but is appropriate for the style. All in all though, I like it. Perhaps not as much as some others on this site, but I like it. I would recommend this beer; I bought this bottle at 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI.

Very tasty sweet stout. Pour is black with thin offwhite head. Nose is charcoal and some chocolatey malt notes. Taste is distinctly sweet and chocolatey with an oily mouthfeel due to the oatmeal. Very well balanced, actually, so I presume there is a hefty hop load. Excellent.

@Sarasota Brewing-on tap-pours a thin tan head that laces and black color. Aroma is rich dark malt/oats-molasses/cocoa. Taste is rich dark malt/oats-molasses/cocoa, slight hops bite. Full body. Nice for a style that’s not usually one of mine.

Pours an appealling dark brown with a tan head that is a little fizzy. Smells of sweet roasted malts, expresso, and chocolate. The taste is a little hoppy upfront that is quickly taken over by roastyness with hints of coffee, chocolate, and a little caramel. Leaves a little roasty aftertaste but not much. The mouthfeel is a little creamy with mild carbonation. Well balenced and somewhat complex. Really good allaround porter!
