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.Pours black with a nice initial head that fades ta a slight rim. Light roastiness on the nose, as well as some lightly sweet malt and perhaps a touch of dark fruit. The taste is nice, with a balanced creaminess, roastiness, and hints of chocolate and licorice. Smooth and firm mouthfeel with a soft finish.Drinkable but I could only drink 2 at a sitting I think. A very good brew

Bottle. Pours near black with a thin tan head. Roasted aroma with light coffee and dark chocolate. Similar flavor profile with a touch of burnt wood. Nice.

Sampled at the stout tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 10/23/08. Pours darkest brown with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma was surprisingly sweet with not much else going on. Flavor is a bit sweet up front, but finishes dry and coffee-ish. Some chocolate. Full-bodied and very tasty.

Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with tan head. Malty aroma, flavor is slight bitter chocolate and espresso notes. A very drinkable stout.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine and More in Tampa. Aroma is smoky, woody, malty, a little alcohol. Pours black with a very thick chocolate milk colored head...impressive. Flavor is very woody and smoky...definately burnt flavor. Leaves a bit of a burnt taste on the palate. Overall I like it. For such a ridiculously dark beer...it goes down easy.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a creamy black. A good amount of maltiness on the nose. Malts follow to the tongue. Accents of bitter chocolates very pleasant. A medium body mouthfeel. A good little stout!

Pours black, brownish tan head. Aroma is malty, plenty of grains, grilled. Taste grilled, nice coffee and chocolate notes. Nice torrefied aftertaste, little hoppy finish, bitter chocolat. Definitely one great stout.

Pours dark brown with a finger thick cream colored head. The nose is roasted malt and a touch of chocolate. The flavor is the same, with a bit of a chalky mouthfeel.
