Pours black with a surprisingly dark one-finger head. Wonderful chocolate and coffee aroma. Light oatmeal and a very slight hop presence. Roasted malt and milk chocolate dominate the flavor. Ends on a lightly hoppy note, with a sweet, nutty finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Very good.

Black with lingering dark tan head. Taste is rich, smooth, and a bit sweet. Slight hoppiness underneath the sweet stout taste. Not terribly bitter, but rather easy to drink.

Rich dark color that pours thick with a tan head. The aroma is that of chocolate and coffee. There is a sweet hoppiness on the palate wtih slight lingering.

One bottle from BOTW. Poured a very thick dark body that thick tan head that stayed around. Aroma of roasted chocolate. Sweet palate with some hops. Very enjoyable.

A thick black body with a creamy, although thinner, chocolate head. I very nice mouthfeel that is not to sweet nor dry. Hints of nuts and roasted flavors. A very accessible stout, could certainly drink this often

Pours a thick, deep black with garnet highlights and a creamy, tan head that deflates slowly. I found some floral lily notes in the aroma amidst the strong coffee roasts. Creamy mouthfeel with a flavor that alternates effortlessly between sweet chocolate and bitter coffee. Sweet and fruity yet savory notes after, adding a mouthwatering saltiness to the finish.

P.S. I might have me a "collector’s item" bottle as mine ended up with the back label from AVBC Summer Solstice!

(22oz Bottle. 03/2006 ... etc.) Thick, viscous, black. Creamy, brown head. Dark chocolate and roasted, almost but not quite coffee, notes. Earthy. Almost no hop bitterness but a definite balance as the finish is clean and dry. Big, velvety mouthfeel with a medium-full body. Long lingering rich, dark maltiness.

Bottle. Thick black color with creamy brown head. Not a whole lot in the nose-- some faint dark chocolate, roasted barley, and earthy hops. Very well balanced flavors of roasted barley, dark and milk chocolate, coffee, and piney hops. Creamy mouthfeel with smooth carbonation, medium body, and a pleasant lingering chocolate and coffee aftertaste. Really nice!
