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.

Pours black with reddish accents only at the very edges when held to the light, topped by a 3 finger toasty tan head that has great retention. Aroma is toffee, lots of caramel and chocolate, and sweet roast. Flavor is very roasty, plenty of toffee, caramel coffee and chocolate, a hint of smoke and char as well. Finish is roast and light bitter hops. Body is medium slightly sticky and perfectly carbonated, slightly chalky on the finish. Great stout

Pours black; smells of coffee, chocolate, and caramel; very creamy with a roasted, and slightly licorice, flavor. Very smooth and drinkable - for a stout.

Pours blacker than Dick Cheneys heart - taste of coffee, chocolate, and a hint of licorice. Smooth drinking, and complex in flavor. Yum.

blackish brown, with moderate lacing. not much aroma. moderately carbonated with a moderately full body. Flavor is of mostly roasted malts, some creaminess and a medium amount of hoppiness. notes of caramel, molasses, dark coffee and dust. finishes with burnt coffee and a high vanilla note. I like this fine, however it is not my favorite stout. - I want to try the double cream stout from bells, I might like that better.

Ink black with a thick tan head. Aroma of roasted decaf. Taste of semi sweet chocolate and coffee grounds, but in a good way. Definitely a keeper.
