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.

Father’s Day beer with Dad #3. Had this beer many times before my RateBeer days. Pours a dark mahogany with a tan head. The nose is all chocolate and malts. Creamy mouthfeel. The front end is sweet with an excellent bitter back. Draft - Brick Store Pub - Decatur, GA

A great stout, but it’s the red-headed step child of Bells beers. It will never live up to expectations.

Bottle Poured into tuliped snifter. Dark black brown pour with a light brown head that exits quickly. Nose isn’t too strong, getting some chocolate and coffee. Taste is coffee, roasted malts, bitter dark chocolate. High carbonation, not super thick as I had expected.

Mrnoluv (67) - long beach, California, USA - MAY 31, 2013
Roasted coffee bean smell, almost like a burnt/smokey smell, woodsy taste, typical stout apperance, great aftertaste that slight bitter/chocolate/coffee taste left on you palate is great. All in all, wasn’t as good as it’s all hyped up to be.
