Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

Drank my last bottle a couple days ago, so going from memory, a fond memory. Poured an attractive deep black/brown with thick head. Smooth tasting with hint of roasted malt and tinge of hops on the finish. Not as complex as some of the stouts I’ve had, but very drinkable.

Got a 6-pack of bottles from Binny’s Beverage Depot. Not a whole lot of aroma here. (Must admit - I work at a chemical plant so I can’t judge beer by aroma.) Slight smells of coffee and chocolate. Looks great. Nice brown head, dark as motor oil. Definitely no shortage of taste - the chocolate and coffee come through perfectly and are not overdone. Good on the tongue with a pleasant aftertaste. Would definitely buy this again.

12 oz bottle, stout glass.
Opaque. Two finger dark brown head that shows excellent retention and thick sticky lace.
Roasted malt aroma, with notes of chocolate, liquorice and molasses. Occasional hint of sour milk, not offputting however.
Flavor is coffee, roasty malts with just a slight hint of liquorice.
Long roasted coffee finish. Tasty and easy drinking.

This was the first beer I had after finding out my first duty assignment. I decided to come to my favorite bar and have one beer, even though I had PT the next day. I considered long and hard and eventually decided upon a beer that honored my mother who opposed my decision to join the US Army- a Kalamazoo Stout. Kalamazoo Stout because Kalamazoo is where she went to university. Pours black with a rather thick head for a stout, medium brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, molasses, and alcohol. Body is thin with some nice carbonation. Pleasant and smooth on the tongue, it really dances on the back corners. Taste is fruit then coffee on the back end with alcohol.
