Very heavy on the tongue leaving you with the impression you are drinking a cream just like a good strong stout should be. thehardrocker (2), Livonia, Michigan, USA does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2009 very good beer that has a rich aroma and it great to the taste. A bit strong for people who are used to lower alc content such as bud or miller. but if you enjoy your beer with a rich malt flavor, this is your beer. Get it in Kalamazoo MI.

Pours a thick, dark, flat brown with an inch+ of dark tan head. Aroma shows plenty of toasted malts, a healthy dose of booze, and some dark bittersweet notes. Flavor follows, with plenty of smooth, dark semi-sweet roasted grains and some light bitterness. Licorice notes show up in the flavor, though not overpowering or dominant. Light booze notes round out the flavor. Flavor on this on lacks some depth, but without detriment- a nice, simple-ish well brewed stout. Palate is very smooth and clean with an even finish.
