bottle from trade with 5000. Good aroma, bitter. Baking chocolate, anise/licourice, little smoky, vineous. Brownish black color, 1st pour had a small head with minor lace. 2 pour I dumped alittle more and got a better head, still minor lace. Bitter flavor. largely the vine coming through, maybe even a steely bitterness. Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitter finish. Likeable stout. though it’s bitterness made the flavor very one sided, not alot to lock onto.

interesting aroma, sweet with roasted malt. black with small cream colored head. the flavor is dry and smokey, with hop coming through

Bomber. Pours a deep black with a thin light-brown head. The aroma is really smoky, also some roasted malt and fruits. The taste is mostly dominated by a bitter/sweet mix, with the sweet brown sugar and malt dominating. There is also a strong smoke and fruity aspect. Really nice.

A very well done stout. Dark brown to black with a creamy tan head. aroma of bitter toast and chocolate. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and dry bitter hops in the finish. Dry and hoppy in the finish. Very good.

Nearly black, moderate sized tan head with solid lacing and retention. Aroma is sweet and bitter chocolate, some roast and coffee, somewhat fruity as well. Like others have said, huge complexity for such a low ABV beer. Very drinkable yet complex and good flavors.

Bottle @ the wolf tasting. Black with a very brownish head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Flavour of coffee and roasted malt and dark bitter chocolate.

Great drinkability for a hopped up stout, thanks to dnichols. Pours black with active character, above average mouthfeel. Hoppy without overbearing, and still balanced. King of hoppy stouts.
