Commercial Description:
Very dark and smooth ale is made from European Pale Ale, CaraMunich, and Chocolate malts with roasted wheat, roasted rye, and rolled oats, as well. Amarillo Hops are used to impart bitterness. This beer is pushed from the brewery's serving tanks using a Nitrogen gas blend, giving a unique thick and creamy mouthfeel.

on tap-pours a thin tan head and black color. Aroma is coffee, hops bitterness. Taste is coffee, roasty, hops bitterness. Nice, OK carbonation. More like a porter. Occasional.

Pitch black with a thin tan head. My first reaction was surprise at the overpowering bitterness, it overtakes anything else there.

On tap @ Rockyard poured a clear dark brown with a small quickly disapating tan head. Aromas of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and a hint of smoke with a smooth slightly dry lingering bitter finish.

Draught. Pours dark brown to black with no head. Aroma is coffee, dark chocolate malt and yeast (leather). Sweet dark chocolate malt, coffee notes, burnt toast and a leather finish. Dark bodied and thin, dry palate.

Black and rather opaque; quickly fading head. Thick and soft texture. Roasty and toasty with a milky-sweet base. Notes of dark chocolate and a pinch of sourness. Large amount of hop bitterness, which lingers well into the aftertaste.

I would not have called this a sweet stout, kind of dry and roasty, overly acidic and unbalanced. Burnt coffee flavors, some milk chocolate, and a sugary sweet hit from what I can only assume is a milk sugar sweetener. Bitter and hard to swallow.

GABF. Some roastiness comes through in the aromas, but it was difficult to pick up. Not much in the way of flavor either. Some chocolate maybe. OK

Draft brewery-A pitch black body with no carbaonation Very very small aroma of roasted malt. Taste of malt, coffee, and chocolate. The body was light and the beer was flat.
