Nice, thick black colour, big smoky aroma, nice body. Not too heavy, but still good. It lacks something special that would make it great, but it is a good beer. May be a little too carbonated for a stout, but oh well...

A very good dry Stout. I was impressed with the complexity of malts, and the palate was just dry enough. Coffee-like taste with a hint of nuts. Poured perfectly by the resident hottie bartender.

Draft sampler at MBC. Dark brown color with a brown head that diminished slowly. Full stout aroma. Medium to full body with smooth texture. Full flavor of coffee, chocolate and toffee with a moderate dry finish.

Bottle. Black colour with a big baige head. Light roasted chocolate aroma and a light roasted sweet chocolate coffee taste. Medium body and a dry finish.

A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of alcohol, while the flavor is roasted with notes of chocolate, on a sour background, as if it lacks alcohol, and the body is thin. The end is dry roasted.

Good roatyness in the aroma, with some underlying sweetness. Jet black body, with a medium sized tan head. Flavor starts out roasty, then it turns quite sour and unpleasant. Maybe it was a bad bottle?

Bottle. Pours opaque ruby black with a persistent light head. The aroma of hops and bitter chocolate. Smooth palate with flavors of coffee and malt. Nothing too creative here, but a good, solid, tasty dry stout.

This beer features a light roast aroma. I would like them to ramp this up a touch more. Pours pitch black with light brown creamy head. Dark chocolate and esspresso notes are the overriding flavors, and finishes with a very nice roast and hop bitterness. Medium to light body. Brewery’s most popular for good reason.
