Black with a tan head. Medium strong smell of blackned malts and roasted nuts. Full bodied and very smooth. Rich, strong black malt and coffee flavor here is chalky dry without much sweetness. Has a lingering burnt malt bitterness to finish. 21107

Appearance: Pours an opaque black body with a medium-sized, beige head. Smell: Aroma of rich, roasted dark malts with plenty of dark chocolate and licorice. Faint hint of soy. Taste: Dark maltiness with an airy sweetness to it. Some licorice. Full roasted grain flavor. Super soft touch of floral hops near the roasty, dry finish. The taste, overall, has a little sourness to it. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Best beer in history? No, but it’s a tasty, nicely drinkable stout.

Bottled and shared with FatPhil. Very dense, brown head. Aroma of our own chocolate mud cake (which is fantastic). A bit papery though. Surprise! It doesn’t taste chocolate! It’s rather burnt with earthy, milky flavours. Long finish.

22 oz bottle. Thanks to drewbeerme for sharing this on Memorial Day. I’ve been wanting to try this one for quite awhile. Pours a brown black color with a creamy brown head. Roasted malts, chocolate and a touch of smoke in the aroma. The body is a little watery. Roasted and slighlty ashy malts are dominating the palate. Light bakers chocolate flavors with charred malt, hops, and molasses in the finish. Decent beer, especially for a standard stout. I’d like to see them try to imperialize this.

Very good beer. Went to the brewery today, and it was amazing. Nice smooth chocolate and ash taste. This beer was creamy and had a nice brown chocolate head that was excellent. Very smooth and creamy. Went during "hoppy hour" so this made it even better/cheaper. Anyways, a wonderful stout with a nice creamy and coffee/chocolate taste. Have fun drinking this one.

Bomber. Pours a very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong roasted malt with alcohol, smoke, and chocolate. Full bodied with a thick roasted malt and oatmeal flavor with a bitter finish. A very good stout from Pike.
