On tap at the Englander pub in San Leandro. Pours black with a creamy layer of off white head. The aroma is very stout like with strong notes of chocolate and roast. The flavor is the same. Super chocolaty with hints of licorice on the palate. Smooth and low in carbonation. Nice stout, just a little heavy on the sweet chocolate.

Dark black color. Roasty aroma. gentle chocolate and malt flavors that glide across the tongue. Very dessert like.

pint glass: I long for the day when I try one of the top stouts. This beer was very nice, some creaminess blended the chocolate, sugars and bitters together. I thought the beer was a bit watery and a little more sweet than I prefer.

Nice aroma, interesting taste, nice finish but then ruined with a mouthfeel that’s like charred steak.

Pours a dark brown, but black in the glass. Large tan head, slippery lace. Roasted aroma of chocolate and light hops. Could not detect a lot of chocolate in the flavor, but was still enjoyable. There is some coffee bitterness that lingers on the finish. Medium bodied with minimal carbonation.
