Dark black core with a thick tan head. The nose shows roasted nuts and mocha. Medium to full bodied Stout. Subtle dark/bitter chocolate on the palate. Subtle finish shows more dark chocolate. A very elegant take on Imperial Stout.

Pours black with a thixk tan head. Aroma of malt, coffee, earth and alcohol. Very thick lacing. Surprisingly clean upp front, gives way to coffee, buurnt toast and a bitter finish. Overall this is a nice imperial stout but not a fav of mine looks way better in the glass than it tastes

Pours with a fluffy tan lacey head, with lots of coffee, nutty aroma. Rich almost black color, full of body with rich raisiny, coffee flavor. A true example of the style in it’s classic form. Very good stout.

Bottled. Dark reddish-brown beer. Minimal and diminishing, tan head. Malty aroma as sweet caramel, toffy and toasted malts.
