Aroma is fruit, coffee and mild roasted notes. The flavor is coffee, roasted malts and a medium acidic/tart finish.

A bitter, robust stout. This is the way they should be made. Nice cooca and coffee-like notes.

(Bottle) Pours black with dark mahogany brown hints. Large nougat coloured head. The aroma holds dark bread, chocolate, coffee, caramel, roasted oat cookies, yeast, backing powder, earthy hops, vanilla and hints of apple tobacco. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and light acidic with notes of roast, toast, earthy/herbal hops, backing powder, yeast and vanilla. The mouthfeel is round and soft with a fizzy, medium to full carbonation. Baking powder, toasted cookies, herbal tea and a tiny sting of citrus on the finish. Near medium bodied.

Bomber courtesy of Marsiblursi. Pours very dark brown with a huge frothy brownish beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is slightly sweet, slightly sour, floral and tiny funky with dark bread, lemon juice, roasted malts, grape juice, wood, cocoa powder, lemon zest, baking soda, grass and hints of burnt caramel.

Very light bodied. Smoke with some coffee and chocolate. Felt like it was missing something. On tap at alpine brewery

22oz of a butter BOMB. Poured a medium density dark black body with a smaller foamy beige head. Aroma of buttery chocolate, milk and some dark toast. The flavor is dominated by butter with underlying chocolate. This was a total drain pour, it was actually do bad I opened up another bottle to rate just so we wouldn’t end a rating session on this abomination.

Bottle shared thanks to Dmac. Pours out black with a small slightly off white head. Aroma is of dark roast, coffee, chocolate, and burnt toast, with a little bit of butter...uh o. Taste is chocolate, medium roast coffee and butter, thnk this one went south.

Pour a pitch black with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, coffee, coco, and some faint bitterness. Taste is of roasted malts, coffee, coco, toffee, and some faint hop bitterness. Has a medium-full body, creamy mouthfeel and a bitter, dry finish. overall, a decent stout.

Pours a dark black with no head. Roasty coffee with a lot if smoke. Not great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
