Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is smoke, roast malt, and a hint of coffee. Flavor is roasted malt, smoke, and a bit of hop.

Thin and well attenuated (BB11/05). No off tastes, though. Rather boring, actually. Maybe some roasted notes in the end.

black color, foamy brown head. big coffee mocha aroma but the taste falls short. hada touch of a burnt flavor. taste did develop character as beer warmed. palate is very light for a stout.

Nice tasty stout. Slight head. Roasted chocolate and smokiness on the nose. Great creamy mouthfeel with relaxed malty flavors. Assertive hoppiness kicks in and then vanishes leaving a nice warm finish.

dry with nice mouthfeel and a solid bitter finish, lacks in complexity and any sort of aroma

Bottle pours black with a nice tan head and some lace. The aroma is roasty and chocolate. The flavor is lactic, roasted, chocolate, and has a fairly rich palate but at the same time quite seemingly artificially carbonated. Ya know, overall, this is not real bad, but also not real good. I’ve had some good beers this evening, and I really do not want to bias my rating of this, but I’m not real impressed.

Not very complex but elegant. Dark, almost black colour, thin brown head, black coffee in aroma, good roasty and chocolate notes in the palate. An OK session dry stout.
