Bottle. Dark brown colour with a huge mostly lasting beige head. Rich aroma and taste of malts, chocolate and coffee. Palate on the light side.

Pours black into an English pint. Enormous mocha head erupts from a very careful pour. Wait it out. Dark chocolate aromas. Metallic upfront turning to an abrupt astringent cocoa finish.

I’m both impressed and annoyed with the amount of head in this stout. I poured a glass and it was all head, had to wait about 3-4 minutes for it to dissipate. The taste is very tinny to me, and it smells like popcorn. Maybe I got a bad batch? I taste a little bit of coffee and chocolate, but the taste does not trump the appearance. Would not have again.

Pours a pitch black with a light brown head and some lace. Thin, lightly sweet aroma - nothing much here. Very chocolaty taste, much like Murphy’s - sweet but not cloying, and otherwise quite dry (slightly oaty). Light creamy character - not particularly thick, light carb. Pleasant enough.

Pretty run of the mill stout. A bit nutty, and some slight roasted coffee flavors, with a bit of a milky characteristic toward the finish. Decent, but certainly not spectacular

Dark dark brown with a large off white head aroma of malt tastes bitter, nutty and smooth.
