12oz Bottle Pours out a nice black topped with a great tan head. A nice aroma of roast malt and light coffee. Tast of light dark chocolate bitterness. A little touch of smoke to go with the coffee roast. Very good.

A cheaper cousin to the expedition stout. It has a slightly watered down mouthfeel for a special double stout. Very dark with strong coffee, toffee, and chocolate flavors.

Black pour with a thin tan head. Subtle malty nose. Flavor of malt and chocolate ... like the cherry stout, though, I expected a bit more sweetness. Kind of disappointing.

Scent of chocolate, coffee and carmel, but does have a mild aroma. has a smoked chocolate taste that goes down very smooth. A very nice stout. I would purchase this one again.

Almost nothing for the nose. I find this to be a sweet stout with a lot of character. Very dark but not too heavy. head is a camel color with pretty lacing. Stout fans should drink this beer. Don’t forget to serve around 50-55 degrees F. One 12 ounce is plenty for one person.

This was dark brown in color with a tan head. There were scents of lactose, milk chocolate and a roasted/nutty aroma at the end. In the mouth this was smooth and creamy but lacking the punch that their other stouts can have. Well-balanced and quite smooth this would be a nice summer stout.
