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.

This amazing beer starts out with a complex aroma. Rich aroma. The tastes come in as a malty sweetness. the beer finishes with no bitterness whatever.

Pours a near black brown with thin tan head. Aroma strong of roasted malt, coffee, slight chocolate, and a decent bit of smoke. Flavor matches well and has a very nice combination of flavors going on. Quite different, in a good way, than most other stouts. Finishes creamy and smooth.

Pours a deep black with a thin, brown head. Aroma is roasty with hints of chocolate. Texture is thick, creamy, and quite smooth. Flavor is very roasty with apparent notes of chocolate and coffee and hints of smoke, molasses. Medium bitterness with a sweet finish. Good stout overall.

On tap at Bell’s Eccentric Café. Opaque black with a medium off-white head. 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.

Black with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, chocolate and caramel notes. Flavour had dark bitter chocolate, burned malt, coffee and toffee notes. Finished sweet. Perfect balance and a nice mouthfeel.
