Bottle - Pours black with a tan head. Sweet aroma. This is a very unique stout. It has a sweet subtle cream/milk flavor that does blend well with the dark roasted malt.

Dark black pour with a tan bubbly head. Aroma is weak, with hints of cream, malt, and cocoa. Tastes of smokey roasted malt and mild coffee with a milky chocolate finish. Dessert and coffee all rolled up into one!

Form a 12 oz bottle from a World Beers box, this poured dark and black with moderate tan head and good lacing. Noe of coffee and chocolate. Rich and cream mouthfeel. Flavor of roasted malts with chocolate. Slightly bitter finish. Very good.

Black pour, small cream colored head. Very malty, creamy, sweet. I don’t get as much chocolate as others here however. Nothing to balance this out. Full bodied. Definetely a sweet stout. Take it or leave it.

Bottle. Rich black color with a strong, tan head. Muted nose of coffee and cocoa powder. Smoky, roasty flavors with a thick, but not too thick mouthfeel. Not a terribly memorable stout and could use more bitterness to even out the roasted flavors. Quite drinkable and solid.

Poured a very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma was of lots of chocolate mainly, and some mild cappucino. Flavor iwas very sweet, too sweet, not enough bittering at all
