This is a beer that I wanted to like much more than I did. It was beautiful as it poured and its aroma was sweet and thick. When I tasted it I realized that it really was sweet and thick. It is just a bit too sweet and a bit too thick for me. To be fair, I am not a big fan of stouts.

solid dark brown pour, reddish brown head, nice looking beer sweet malty aroma, milky chocolate syrup, some caramel apple very smooth body, but a bit thin the taste is a much more roasted, with some coffee and darker chocolate, but overall fairly mild, and lacking a nice stout-y finish

Bottle. Pours a black body with a 1 finger white head. Sweet malty, lactose caramel with a light glucose body. Light milk chocolate with a light licorice finish. Good brew but nothing incredible.

Pours a pitch black with tan/dark brown substantial head. Minimum retention and lacing. Smells of brown sugar and burn malts. Right out of the fridge the tastes don’t really come through very well. As the brew warms, however, the sweet brown sugar and espresso flavors come through in a big way. Bitterness was more apparent when it was colder, but dies away as it warms. I could sip this one down fairly quickly, but due to it’s fairly full body I could not have too many in a sitting. Definitely a desert brew, be it with desert or preferably as one. A fine brew overall. Not my favorite stout but it’s, my first of the style...will definitely have to try some more. Reviewed on: 03-05-2007

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a brown 1/4" head. No lace. Aroma is milk chocolate , cocoa and a hint of molasses. Substantial mouthfeel with almost zero carbonation. Heavy bodied. Drank two watching football Sunday afternoon and felt full afterwards. Flavor is sweet milk chocolate. Low alcohol content.
