Bottle. Poured dark brown/black with a frothy tan head. Aroma of chocolate syrup, with some underlying coffee notes. Bittersweet chocolate and dark roast coffee dominate the flavor. A toasted grainy/nuttiness underneath. Full bodied and smooth. Fairly solid and well rounded stout I think.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small, tan head. Aromas of plum, raisin, coffee, and chocolate. Flavors of coffee, chocolate and burnt toast. Overall, a very pleasant, easy-drinking stout.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small off white head. Little lacing, finishing as a okay film. Aroma is fruity with loads of roasted malts. A chocolate edge to the aroma as well. Small bubbles. Flavour is sweet, dominated by roasted malts. Aftertaste stays for quite some time with loads of dryness from the roasted malts and hops.

Bottle. Tan, foamy head. Full of flavor from beginning to finish. Not as chocolately as most stouts but overall a good stout. Not heavy, not too light though. I definitely recommend it

pours really light, more like a porter. chocolate, woody, roasted malt and wheat bread in the aroma. flavor is smooth and mellow with chocolate, coffee and nuts. has a nice acidity and hoppiness with almost no sweetness. would be a highly rated baltic porter. a delicious beer nonetheless

I really like this one. It has less cholcolate than most "stouts" that you get. I for one am sick of choclate beer. Please---everyone who wants to make a new stout, go drink Guinness. That’s what it SHOULD be like. Ok, off my soapbox. This is a fantastic beer to drink tons of. Not too heavy, no unpleasant aftertaste. It seems to be pretty low alcohol as well. Still wonder about all this organci crap.
