This black stout with ruby glints has very little, brown head. The nose is of espresso and burnt grain. The palate is like drinking a cup of Maxwell House. The finish is heavy with light chicory bitterness.

Opaque black, large, rich firm, brown head. Full roasty aroma with loads of dark malt with a whiff of smoke. Nice. Full-bodied for a 4 % ABV brew! Rosaty, vlean and smooth flavour. Clean roasty aftertaste of coffee with a hint of peat. Quite pleasant, this..

deep. dark color, with crimson highlights, beneath a creamy cocoa-tan head. Aroma is gentle, yet still roasty, emitting warm notes of chocolate and coffee, rich, bittersweet, with espresso tinges, and fairly uplifting, I like it! Warm, rich, smooth satisfying mouthfeel. Just drips over the palate, lolls around the tongue, very silky smooth. Not as thick or full as some stouts, but that’s okay, sometimes. Thoroughly pleasing, with an additional toffeeish sweetness, that really brings a smile. I can’t help but like this beer, and I’d advise you to try it, at least. Doesn’t rock any worlds, but damned if it doesn’t taste good, and that’s all I’m caring about right about now.

Pours with a five-finger plus (pour very slowly) light brown head that is thick and frothy leaving a ton of lace. Totally black color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Nose is roasted coffee. Starts with a strong roasted coffee flavor and finishes slightly bitter. $3.49 for a 500ml bottle, Liquor Barn Lexington, KY.

I thought this one was pretty good. Nose was malty, no surprise there. Nice big creamy tan head, and lots of interesting toasty and coffee flavors. Finish had a hint of hops. Nice stout.

Pours pitch black with a mostly receding brown head. Aroma of chocolate, licorice, smokey roast, and peat. Tastes of chocolate roast, licorice, peat, and a bit of smoke. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with lush carbonation. Very nice stout, I love the darker beers from England and Scotland, makes me want to visit.

Black colour. Thick white creamy head. Sweet and somewhat smoky nose. Flavour is roasted, malty and slightly acidic, with hints of chocolate. A quite ordinary stout, still not bad.

Bottle (500ml). Thanks to Degarth for this one!. Opaque black, lively pour, large fluffy beige head. Oily, nutty, deep roast malt aroma, a little milky with a touch of cherry tartness - very rich and appealing. Taste is very roasty, light nut and tart fruit, some acidity and grassy hops in the finish. Light, still, silky mouthfeel, nice bitter aftertaste - solid stout, would have it again.
