Bottle - pitch black pour with a very light tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and chocolates/coco with some hop spice. Flavor is similar with strong roasted notes, coffee and a firm resinous hoppy flavor.

22 oz from Ty5592...An amazing beer. Don’t think it gets the credit it is due to the low abv...Eventhough it is not a "big" beer, it is excellent. Pours like black tar, nice dark brown head, tastes of melted chocalte, with a roasted coffee finish. Drank this with a couple friends who were strategizing about how we could locate more...In another state...Thanks Ty.

22 oz. btl. pours jet black with a tan head. nice lacing. Aroma of sweet malt dark roast coffee and roasted bread. Sweet beggining of caramel and toffe with subtle esspresso and bisquit. finishes slight sweet and dry. I agree w/ the btl description of light body. Very drinkable and smooooooth...

22oz bomber. Pours thick, dark black with a small brown head that goes away fast. Looks like an imperial - very dark. Aroma is the hoppiest stout I’ve ever smelled. Under the hops there’s some malts and chocolate, but hops predominate. Nice. Flavor is a nice balance between hops at first then sweet, chocolatey malts. Very impressive.

This is a very dark beer out of the 22oz bottle with only hints of light around the edges when held up to the light. The surface of the beer has a thin galaxy of a tan whisp and a lasting ring around the edge of the glass. Nose of sweetened coffee and molassess. I get lots of coffee in this beer, both in the initial sip and long into the finish. Sweetened coffee, bitter chocolate, molasses, some ash and burnt grains. The finish is a long coffee bean, dark roasted malt bitterness. Very nice stout.
