Restrained maltiness on the nose, with light coffee hints and a small hops presence. Fairly thinned body, with a defined chewy chocolate presence, which is tempered by a drying element. Decent example of the style. Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jul 3, 2008 Bottle from Julios. Pours a black body with a tan 2 finger head. Aroma is malty chocolate even a bit of vanilla and cream. Lil bit of toffee and salt. Nice oily chocolate flavor devoid of hops and a small etoh warming. A little oily and dry. Very drinkable. Nice. decaturstevo (1192), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jun 8, 2008 Nice full aroma of malt and chocoffee. Deep dark brown pour. Full chocolate flavor with a lite bitter finish. A tad thin but carbonation is good. Pretty good stout a bit of bitter hangs on and the lingering sweetness is nice as well.
