Dark and thick with a dark tan almost brown head. Smells malty with slight chocolate notes. Rich creamy taste with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Went down very smooth and was a pleasure to drink.

Dark as night, pitch black, like oil. I spit black for a week staright after consuming this tar like substance. IT was pretty good butleft a metallic taste in my mouth which i did not care for.

Bottle. Has a great black color with a hint of orange. The head was dark tan but wasnt as thick or creamy as a Guiness but decent. The first taste is amazing with chocolate and coffee definitely coming through. The flavor gets a little lost later on but there is a resounding Coffee aftertaste that is just great.

This is one of those beers that gets extra points for being so affordable. Pours dark with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate with a hint of coffee. Taste is milk chocolate, coffee (with cream and sugar), and just a hint of dark fruit. Great for tailgating before the game. From notes.

Black pour with a wonderfully THICK and LASTING brown head. Sorry to emphasize that, but it’s nice when the beer looks so good for more than 3 minutes. Aroma is sweet, with coffee and chocolate. Texture is a lot like Guiness, smooth and creamy. Vanilla, milk chocolate, caramel... long and smooth finish. Wow, what a surprise! I’ve seen this beer at various stores for years and never thought to try it. I like this the way it is, low abv and all.

Pours very black with a deep, brown head. The texture of the beer was soft and creamy. The aroma is hard to detect but there is slight smells of malt and chocolate. No real bite to it at all. This beer was recommended to me by one of my materials professors in college before I was 21, and it was one of my first beers. Definitely one to remember!

Pour was a beautiful ultra dark brown with just a hint red. The head was truly brown and was almost an inch in heighth. Lacing was weak. The aroma was sweet, dry chocolate and a little bit of malt. The flavor was sweet chocolate, a hint of dry smoke. For a sweet stout this is a really solid beer. If they upped the alcohol, added some hops and turned this into an IS it would be really good. Very good value.
