Pours a dark brown/black with a nice, medium sized, chocolate brown head. Aroma is odd...ligher than expected and a bit metallic. Flavor is a very pronounced dark chocolate and espresso, with a sweet finish. Tons of roasted malt in this one. Not as much alcohol flavor as I was expecting. Palate is smooth and creamy. Overall a very good session stout.

This beer is awesome. Pours a thick dark brown, practically black with a thin caramel/brown head. The head lasts a long time likely due to the thickness. Any thicker and it would have been a sludge, I love it.

One of my favorite stouts behind Yeti. Very easy to drink, and drink a lot of. Pours like thick motor oil with a late growing, huge, creamy, dark brown head. Tons of lacing and good retention all the way through. Black body. Very malty with nice chocolate notes. Very sipable, sweet stout with vanilla, alcohol and a nice coffee balance. Nice thick and smooth body. Will buy this one again!

Smells of sweet chocolate malts with hints of coffee or caramel. Very sweet and smooth, somewhat thick. A wonderful sweet stout

Pours a nice brownish black. Looks very pretty. Amazing sweet taste. Sugary with some fruit. Would definitely buy again.

Pours like dirty oil, leaves a beautiful dark-reddish brown head that bubbles away over time just like a pancake on a skillet. Absolutely beautiful! Light lacing. Roasted smells and straight up coacoa. Thin on the palate, but not too thin. The taste lives up to its aroma, but with a great blend of raisins, anise... just... makes me... want to drink more... and more... leaves a nice (yet modestly) chocolately taste on the back of the tongue. A lovely and easy to drink beer for such a dark and tasty brew.

12 oz bottle. Ebony with a smooth tan head and wet lace. Nose of brown sugar and clay; mild grapes. Medium body with a sweet, lactic tang. Taste is brown sugar and plum. Dries with coffee and currants. The epitome of a sweet stout.
