Smooth chocolate citrus goodness. Great balance. Could be a touch roastier, but tasty dark chocolate all the same.

Bottle. Aroma is caramel, roasty. Pours dark brown with light brown head, good lace. Lively carbonation, full bodied. Light sweet turning into medium bitter taste. Damn good stout.

350ml Bottle at home on 22nd December 2009. Pours thick, dark brown with a pale brown head. Delectable roasted malts, some smoky notes and spiciness - hint of mace/nutmeg. Full, engaging mouthfeel and a rich, dry finish. Superb!

Bottle. Pours black with a frothy and thick beige head. Mainly the aroma is roasty with coffee notes but I also sense sweet caramel and fruity hops. The flavour is roasted coffee, light chocolate, caramel and hops. A very nice creamy edition. Good depth for the 5.8%.

Wow. This was not what I was expecting at all...but in a good way. I do love sierra nevada but when i think of Sierra Nevada I think hops. So i was expecting this beer to be pretty bracingly bitter. But it isn’t. Nice full-bodied flavor lots of roasted malt character going on here. Finishes with a nice coffee/toffee aftertaste. Wonderful brew and a great stout. Would definitely have this again.

Tap @ Monster B’s. Dark blackish brown body with nice light brown head. Milky, smooth with soy-like mouth feel. Flavor isn’t too profound but unoffensive. Nice lacing. Nothing special, but would have again.
