Hints at espresso...a thin body but the flavor lingers. Pours with a great head and nice lacing. Very enjoyable.

This is a bottle that is after the best before date, so this might not be as high as a fresher rating might get. Has basically a pure black color with some brown head. I can smell sweeter malts, chocolate, a little coffee, and a roasty slightly smoked scent. Taste is full of chocolate and malts. Similar to a good brown ale. Aftertaste leaves a little bite, but nothing that’s obscene.

Pours dark brown with a dark beige head. Great big ol’ chocolate nose with a bit of coffee and roast. More coffee flavor than chocolate but they are both still very robust and good as hell. Medium/full body with appropriate carbonation. Roasted dry finish. Very very good beer.

Bottle from SuIIy! pours a deep brown with a nice big foamy head. aroma is bitter chocolate, espresso, some roasted malts. exceptionally smooth with a dry finish. medium body. one of the best stouts/porters I’ve had that were under 6% abv. I liked this a lot. could drink this all day.

Sample at Mr. Dunderbak’s. Nice robust flavor. Balance of malt, chocolate, coffee, and maybe even some toffee. Rich and dark.

Near-black pour with a frothy tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and milk chocolate. Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is dark, roasted malts, coffee, chocolate... a recipe for bitterness but this one is smooth. Lingering milky chalikiness, lactose?, bit of citrus/orange hoppage towards the finish. Solid and tasty but I’m surprised it’s rated so high with so little complexity.
