On tap at Redlight. Pours black like oil...like it should be. Big coffee and roated malts. Definitly some darkish chocolate tastes. Big and hearty. really like it.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours black with a thick tan head. Roasted coffee, chocolate and malt aromas are plentiful and delicious. The taste follows suit with sweet chocolate and a mild tartness finishing up the smooth and creamy texture. A great Imperial Stout that is easy to find.

12oz bottle. Pours black with a heavy brown head. Decent carbonation. Aroma is of roasted malt, chocolate, syrup, and hops. Taste is spicy hops, with a heavy roasted malt backbone. Notes of chocolate, dark fruits, syrup, and alcohol. Very dry finish, with a nice hop bitterness. The body is very light, with a very dry and light mouthfeel. This beer may seem light in mouthfeel, but its far from bad. Its exceptionally drinkable. This is one stout I could consider a session beer. I could easily knock these back all day. Has everything a good stout needs, but isnt a sipper.

A hint of olive in the aroma. Taste is great. This is the best stout I can remember drinking in a long time. I found this on sale, I’m glad I picked it up. THE PERFECT HEARTY BEER FOR A COLD SNOWY NIGHT. Dark chocolate finish. Outstanding and impressive. Definitely a new favorite of mine.

0.355 l bottle. Black color with creamy long lasting head. Sweet and roasty aroma with salty licorice, coffee, chocolate, leather and flowery hops. Bittersweet and roasty flavor with bitter chocolate, charcoal, salty licorice, wood and lemony-flowery-mentholy hops. Soft oily palate. Very tasty and the house character of North Coast comes nicely through. However, I think this woud be even better with less hop aroma and flavor.

Bottle. Pours almost completely black and viscous, with a big two-finger dark tan head, good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and caramel. Thick velvety body. Prounounced dark chocolate flaovr with plenty of coffee, and some caramel. Well balanced. A truly fine example of the style.

Pours black with a khaki head of fine bubbles leaving delicate lace for the first third of the glass. Aroma of prunes chocolate liqueur with mineral and lactic notes. Heavy mouthfeel. Bitter chocolate and stewed fruits with notes of coffee bean and burnt malt and licorice. Soundly bitter finish of long length. Undertones of warming alcohol. Solid.
