Poured into a goblet, thick black with a dark brown head. Tastes of thick chocolate and coffee and bitters well with the alcohol. Excellent!

Very dark pour with a thin head, great aroma, taste and mouth feel. It is everything you would want in a stout, add bitter chocolate what a treat.

A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt and medium notes of sweet malt, oatmeal, and coffee. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and oatmeal, as well as lighter notes of alcohol, that is felt on the tongue, leading to a dry and roasted finish.

Noire foncée avec une belle mousse beige qui reste longtemps. Fort arômes de chocolat noir et d’alcool. Très riche et crémeuse, elle offre de bonnes sabeurs de chocolat amer, de malt grillé et d’alcool. Bonne bière de fin de soirée!

Poured from a 22oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a dark black with a brownish head and some nice lacing that hangs to the class. The smell is dark chocolate like a Mr. Goodbar, has a bit of a nutty flavor with some oat feel. The taste is bitter, some dark hop flavor with some dark chocolate flavor. This has a nice creamy feel that coats over some nice oat hints. Has a nice mix of flavor together, balancing all of these together with an easy mouthfeel, just nice. This is just another nice Stone beer. Each beer I try I am floored by how good this beer is and each time I really enjoy each flavorful beer. The feel of this beer is slightly heavy but really smooth. It has a nice drinkable flavor to it and it only gives off a slight sting to it while mixed in some nice creamy flavor.

Jet black with a small, light brown head. Aroma of malt, toffee, licorice and bourbon-like alcohol. Roasted malt flavour ranging from licorice to charcoal, some alcohol in the finish

Black. Sweet heavily roasty aroma. A touch of oats with lots of choco-coffee action in the flavor. Body exhibits the expected oatiness. Surprisingly quaffable for such a big beer.
