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.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- my bottle courtesy of ross. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small light-brown head. Aroma: Whoa, that’s nice! Lots of dark fruit with sweet caramel malt, a little roastness and some chocolate and coffee. Flavour’s not as impressive but still very good: coffee and chocolate, roasted malt, a little nutty and a light bitter finish. Medium bodied. Easy to drink and enjoyable, I liked it.

Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Thickly oily near black pour with a small creamy fairly dark brown small head. Rich thick nut-oil roast malt aroma - yeasty, sweet and nutty - someone was heard to say "black forest cake" - yes, hints of kirsch, ultimately dry. Taste - just average, really - slightly sour and thin, roast coffee/chocolate, thin hops, sour finish. Only average body, acidic and thin mouthfeel, weak finish. Smells awesome.

A nice dry and roasty stout that satisfies me on this coolish winter night. This stout typifies a dry mid-bodied stout. The finish is long and full of coffee and milk chocolate.

Bonus bottle via trade with stoutlover72. Pours an inky black color with a small dark brown head that pretty much settles out. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar. Flavor is just about the same, coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar, bitter choclate. Palate is full bodied, oily, resinous, mildly carbonated. Very nice.

Bottle: Dark brown, near black pour with a smaller brown head. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma is mostly coffee with some chocolate tones and hints of roasted malts. Taste is a rich coffee with cocoa accents and some bittersweetness. There is another coffee/mocha kick right in the finish. Nice full bodied stout.

Poured a extremely deep, oily black with a huge creamy tan head. The moment it started to pour you could smell the roasted malts, but also hints of cherry and plum. Roasted, nutty flavor hints of vanilla and malt. Creamy on the palate.
