A thick dark brown pour with a thick head very reminiscent of a can/draft Guinness. Fruity aroma, excellent coffee/chocolate/roast flavors with an excellent fruity yeast complement and a nice malty balance. I rated this a year ago and somehow gave it a 2.9, now I think I was way off.

1 Liter bottle. Poured an opaque ruby black with a full creamy head and lacing. Wow, tasty roasted malts with a little hoppy bitterness at the finish. Well balanced and yummy.

Bottle. Very dark mahogany and a reasonably tall beige head. Faint aroma of toasted nuts, roasted malt and cocoa. Semisweet chocolate, coffee caramel and roasted malt flavor all pretty well balanced with a classicly modest fuggles/nutty hop kick. Mouthfeel a bit too thin for a stout and a short, roasty finish.

Bottle. Dark with a foamy tan head. Bitter roasts, molasses, hints of brown sugar and burnt wood. Nothing extraordinary but solid.

Black, wth creamy light brown rich head and smokey nose. A little thin for a stout, but a refreshing drink none-the-less. Light tastes of coffees and chocolate, and smooth finish.
