12 fl oz bottle. Pours black with a huge creamy and tan head. Roasted malt and somewhat wet woody hops note. Flavour is hardroasted malt and solid bitter. Goes into a more smooth flavour before the finish with a creamy texture containing notes of coffee and malt. Mild chocolate note too. Dry bitter finish with more of the same roasted malt flavour coming through.

Pours dark with a dark tan head. Lots of roasted malts with dark chocolate and coffee. Decent balance from hops at first but to much sweetness on the finish. Could be a lot better if not for the lingering sweetness.

Hmm. Over rated. Not firm-bodied. One of the least exceptional stouts I’ve had. On tap at Humpy’s in Anchorage. Watery. Roasted coffee. Not very memorable.

Pour is dark with medium fluffy tan head. Aroma is of bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is somewhat sweet with more cocoa flavor as well as very light hints of coffee and a toasted malt. Coffee prevails a little more in the finish. Not much hop bitterness. Very smooth and well blended. Does have a dry finish. The more I drink it, the more I like it. Good brew. Would buy again.

Pours with a largish, creamy, light brown head covering a black body. Lots of coffee, dark chocolate and flowers in the aroma. Taste is of coffee grounds, bitterness, and caramel. Watery mouthfeel, with light carbonation.

Dark body, thin lacing head. Taste :Choc, malt, raisin. Lite to medium head, dry finish. Nice aftertaste. Somewhere between a great brown ale and an ok stout. Only the chew is in question. Do like the taste combination.

Black with a thick tan head. Aroma is rather restrained roasted malt and sesame seeds. Flavor is very dry, ristretto espresso. As it warms, there is a flavor that reminds me of cottage cheese. It’s not as bad as it sounds, believe me. It is smooth, I guess. There is nothing really remarkable about this one, it’s just a decent stout.

Bottle from Booze Bros. in Reno, NV. Poured a very dark brown, almost black. Smell of coffe and chocolate. A little on the dryer side for a stout, which really brought out the roasted malt flavor. Great brew!!
