Commercial Description:
This stout is sheer beer poetry. Let it warm to about 45 F and pour it into a glass to fully experience its rich, roasty flavors and hints of coffee and chocolate. One glass and you'll agree: The Poet is truly a rich, creamy brew of epic proportions.

Pours opaque, true black into the glass, with a chocolate head that diminishes to a ring down the glass. The nose is nice and sweet, with roasted notes. Roasted malts on the tongue, with bittersweet dark chocolates, following sweet malts upfront. The finish continues with contiguous roasted bitters. The pull is very linear, and is a wonderful sweet stout. Smooth quaff, with decent carbo levels. Excellent choice.

The aroma is toasty with chocolate, coffee, grass, and cream. The appearance is almost black with a smooth tan head. The flavor is like the aroma with a sweet and bitter finish. It has a acidic quality that is not fantastic but it’s still pretty good. The palate is average. Overall it’s decent.

12oz bottle. Darkest brown/black in color with a medium tan head. Roasted malt aroma with coffee, chocolate and some sweetness. Flavor is just a tad sweet up front with chocolate and a coffee finish. Not quite as sweet as I remember, but still very good.

Pours very dark with a deep crimson hue when held to the light; it also has a good sized sudsy tan head. The aroma has vanilla, cream, roasted malt and acidic berry flavors. The taste starts with the roasted malt, sharp berries and light cream. the finish is more bitter and shows some lactic acid. An okay stout.
