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.

Bottle. Pours thick and black with dense brown head and decent lacing. Aroma is of coffee, chocolate, and malts. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and a slight hint of licorice. Finish is smooth and slightly bitter with a little alcoholic kick.

Poured a black coal like color with a thick brown head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, malts. Flavor is a great magnificant of roasted malts and coffee, a hint of bakers chocolate as well. Smooth as hell with a nice kick to it in the end.

Poured near black with a thick, creamy tan head. Aromas of roasted malts. Flavor is a nice combination of roasted malts, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Full-bodied and incredibly smooth. Thanks for the trade JB.

Not a hint of light escapes this brew. Pitch black with a tan head that leaves nice lacing. Chocolate, caramel, coffee, and licorice make up the fine aroma. Medium-full bodies with decent carbonation. The beer starts sweet with chocolate and caramel notes. Finishes with dark coffee/espresso bitterness. Absolutely delicious.

(11/15/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Thanks a lot for this bottle archmik! Black-colored with a big bubbly beige to light brown head that falls slowly. Aroma of roasted malt, some coffee, some smokiness and licorice. Sweet roasty flavor with coffee, some fruit hints, licorice notes and a bit of espresso. Finishes bitter. Medium to full-bodied. Very nice.

12oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing. Poured into a Czech pils glass, black/brown and visually thick. It exhibited a frothy, dark tan head, with some dense, clingy lace. The nose was dry, with roasted notes, coffee, and a touch of sweetness as dark fruit and molasses. I found chocolate in the flavor with some coffee and caramel. I liked the mellow existence of the hop bitterness as it balanced nicely with the other flavors. Flavorful and very quaffable stout!

From a 12oz bottle this brew poured black with a nice brown head. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, coffee and licorice. Nice silky chocolate and coffee taste with a little licorice in the aftertaste. Solid mouthfeel - nice and creamy. A very drinkable stout.

I did not find nearly as much aroma or flavor as the rest of the folks that reviewed this beer. Faint roasted aromas, decent chocolate flavor. Didn’t find the licorice or anything complex. Loved the mouthfeel, very silky.
