Commercial Description:
A black opaque ale with rich creamy roasted malt character and a very mild hop complement. This beer may look a little scary but take a sip and you'll see why this Extra Stout can convert even lite beer drinkers to Stout lovers. A unique flavor profile that starts with a slight coffee flavor and finishes with a hint of roasty chocolate. Try a pint with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream. This beer is a favorite as a compliment to any dessert or as a hearty breakfast drink.

Bottled (Thanks heemer77). Black/very dark brown colour iwth small brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, some flowery hops and a bit chocolate. Flavour is old acidic coffee, some hops and slightly roasted malts. Quite pleasant, but the coffeeish acidicness makes it a bit out of balance.

Opaque dark brown color, small brown head. Chocolate, rye bread, glue and hops in the nose. Glueish, very coffeish with some barley wine -like flavors, dark rye bread and roasted malts. Very American style stout. Cold coffee in the aftertaste.

Bottle from Total Wine in Naples, FL. Pours a deep brown/black with a quickly dissipating brown head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, and balsamic reduction. Medium bodied with thin creamy texture, and slight soda like carbonation. Initial flavor of toasted nuts, maple, dark roast, and raisens. Subtle bitterness mid-palate to balance things out. Roasty finish. Not bad.

A below average stout. Aroma was so-so. Chocolate malt and coffee. Pour was a dead flat dark brown with no head. Taste was flat and thin. Roasted and chocolate malt with a semi bitter aftertaste. With no carbonation, this beer tastes stale. Not very good.

From bottle : Pours a black as night color, with a small short lived borwn coffee colored head. A nice aroma, like a chocolate candy bar, very good, like you could eat the smell of this baby. Flavor is really fantastic. Coffee notes up front, then a very nice ending, it goes from malty, then transitions into roasted chocolate, and thats the aftertaste it leaves. Smooth as velvet on the palate, and a nice and thick body. This has to be one of the best stouts i’ve had to date. Wow.

Very dark brown body with a medium brown head. Roasty, fudgey nose with a stinging burnt overtone. Thick, slightly fudgey and milky body. Simple milk chocolate and fudge character. Easy-going quaffing stout but with more body that suits the role.
