Dark chocolate and roasted malts with a little tar/smoke aroma. Large froth light brown head with good lacing. Mostly lasting head. Dark black body. Light sweet initial flavor with a moderately bitter finish. Medium bodied with a somewhat creamy texture. Lively carbonation with a lighly alcoholic feel.

very dark brown, nice aroma that does include a nice hint of chocolate. at first it is very clean actually all the flavor is in the mouthful, and finish. The chocolate flavor is of the dark variety and fairly subtle. Mouthful is a nice full flavored stout with a nice sharp coffee flavor that is also somewhat creamy. The sharp coffee flavor remains well afterwards.

A nice thick black pour with a rich one finger tan head that has good retention. Thick creamy lacing. The nose is sweet chocolate with roasted nuts. It stays consistant throughout the 650 mls and 2 full pours. Flavor is sweet and complex. It is full of chocolate with coffee. There is actually quite a lot of hop presence that adds bitterness and tartness. They blend well with all of the chocolate and roasted notes. Like the aroma, the flavor stays strong and steady. Like everything else about this beer the feel is rich and thick, creamy even. A delightful beer that is deserving of its high percentage rating.

Draft at Stone. Pours a chocolate brown/black. Loads of chocolate nose. Great chocolate malt flavors. Nice hop hints. Caramel, vanilla hints too. A bit dusty mouth that becomes very creamy. Good beer.
