I had this in the nitro can today and was not thrilled. Much better from the bottle or tap. Normally a flavorful stout with a great balance of chocolate, malts, and nice amount of hoppiness. Features and nice creamy feel and a distinct sequnce of flavor from lips to finish.

Pretty pitch black pour with a thick two finger milk chocolate head almost like a nitro. Mostly roasted coffee aromas, Taste is cold cocoa mixes, sweet chocolate, slightly burnt and roasty malt bitterness. Smooth drinker.

Can. Pours black with thick brown head that lasts forever. Aroma is roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour is bitter chocolate and some smoke. Great beer.

The perfect companion to my over-spiced and cocoaed Aztec mole sauce. Creamy, rich and robust this is sure to go over well with all but the most stout-shy. More than just black color and roastiness of Guinness, but without the expansive body of the biggest stouts.

faint aroma, not much when it comes to a head, however great taste. this is a good beer that i really enjoyed drinking. nice finish too, a good thick stout. had another one out of a can-draught- it was even better than the one out of the bottle.

I love this stout. A beer that even those losers that say "I hate Beer" will enjoy. Pours beautifully into the glass and forms a dark body with an impressive tan head with incredible lacing. Nose is of coffee, cocoa and hints of hops. Flavour is Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate! Finish is slightly bitter and dry. Some go for coffee for a buzz, I prefer this beer.

Deep brown color with a slight off white firm head. The taste is mild with chocolate as the dominating taste. Nice rich full maltyness.

This is a very nice brew, not to sweet, as some other sweet stouts can be....very solid in all departments....a winner, especially considering how widely aval. it is!
