Commercial Description:
A full-bodied beer with deep chocolate color, velvety malt texture, and a dark-roasted flavor, with hints of smokiness and coffee. It combines the dryness of traditional Dublin-style stout with the strength and character of Imperial Stout.

This black, mocha topped pour smells of roasted coffee. The flavor is much the same but sweeter. It has a decent bitter finish.

Pours attractive deep brown with no head. Chocolate mainly in the nose and flavor, with an undesirable chalky influence.

Strong toast flavor and nice and dry. Great cereal taste. Flavor remains all about the malt through the bitterness. Keeps its great tan head throughout. The best of the Pike ales I tried.

Bottle pours black with a tan lacing head. Aroma is semi-sweet with notes of chocolate and roasted malts. Taste has a distinct smoked flavor with hints of coffee, bitter chocolate, vanilla,and a very slight fruitiness.

Pours a pitch black with a modest tan head with great retention. Aroma is lovely and enticing - chocolate & dark coffee. Tastes fantastic - nice and bitter chocolate with plenty of roasted coffee character and just a hint of sweetness, nice and dry. Lingering burnt finish, nice hops, touch of alcohol. Wonderful thick body with plenty of carbonation. This tastes like a much stronger imperial stout, even though it’s just a stout. Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Bottle thanks to kyzr. Pours with a large, rocky brown head covering a black body. Good lacing. Aroma of rosted malts, honey, and chocolate. Taste is of coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Good stout.
