I was very encouraged with the aroma, it is amazing. Get great roasted chocolate tones that are just so warming. That is kinda where it ended though. The taste left much to be desired. It has some taste in the middle, but finishes rather weak for many of the stouts I have had. I didn’t hate it, but there are better everyday stouts out there.

Big black beer w a smaller white head... Loads of dark fruits over some chocolates... Aroma and flavor mimic each other. Average at best, too much fruit not enough chocolate ... Medium to medium full bodied....

12oz bottle. Pours very dark brown with small tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, bit of caramel. Flavors of bitter chocolate and roast with some grain and caramel. Body was thin and flavors really didn’t jive.

Bottle thanks to mikem409. Dark brown with copius fluffy, tan head. Chocolate pudding, brown sugar and light roasted malt in the nose. Roasted malt, light cocoa, mild lactose, brown sugar. Lingering faint roast. Surprisingly thin considering lactose content.

Poured from 12oz bottle, pours black with a tan head and spotty lacing, the aroma has a good amount of chocolate and malt, the flavor has a good front end of chocolate and some caramel mixed in as well, the mouthfeel is pretty thin though, not bad.

Bottle. Pours black with a medium, tan head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavor is a mix of sweet caramel malt and bitter chocolate with the chocolate flavor becoming more pronounced. Also a hint of roasted malts and some hops. Dry, bitter finish.

22oz bottle in a snifter. Pours black with a lacy, tan head. Aroma strong of chocolate and some roasted malts plus a little floral hoppiness to balance out the malts/sugars. Flavor the same, just strong chocolate. Average texture. A really interesting beer.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A black beer with a very small tan head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is deliciously heavy on the chocolate with notes of raisin and molasses. The flavor has a good amount of alcohol, but the chocolate and roasted malt flavors outweigh it easily. A delicious beer that could stand alone as a dessert.
