Great roast aroma with chocolate and molasses. Flavor is dominated by roasted malts with bitter dark chocolate, a bit of smoke, and subtle coffee. A touch of toffee sweetness balances it out. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and creamy. A ton of flavor, and very drinkable. A quintessential stout. KimJohansen (5662), Copenhagen V, Denmark Jun 8, 2009 Black with a medium beige head.
