It might seem a bit low, just not my favorite style. Lot better than I remeber, good roasted flavor, sweetish finish, great for an after dinner drink. Needs to be drunk at the right time, right place kind of beer. Pretty good, fit right the other night after dinner.

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.

Pitch black with a thin but lasting milk chocolate head. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate, earthy coffee beans. Tastes of bitter roasted malt, some coffee, chocolate and sweet smooth lactose milkiness.

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.
