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 an intimidating oily black. Aroma is tons of burnt sugar and coffee, dark chocolates, light milk, and dark fruits. Flavor is rich chocolate and espresso, nice and malty, with a comfortable bitterness that makes this more of a drinkable stout than its wicked counterpart -- Expedition. Solid in every way.

Bottle from batch 8555. Pours solid black with hints of umber around the edges with a finger and a half of mocha head and beautiful lacing. Bouquet of licorice, molasses, brown sugar, caramel, toffee, black cherry, and a strong aroma of sweet roasted malts. Flavor is sweet licorice, caramel malts, bittersweet chocolate, and roast coffee. The palate is soft and smooth, the carbonation isn’t cloying or obtrusive, and the finish is a mellow bitterness that pleasantly lingers on the back of your tongue.

A minimal dark chocolate scent, with hints of smoke, reddish dark brown opaque, a minimal brown head, flavor was smokey, with a full bodied creamy finish that lasted an adequate amount. Overall a good beer that doesn’t live up to the hype.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a coffee black. Great roasted malt aromas. Real good malt flavors from the black and caramel malts. A surprisingly alcoholic mouthfeel. Real good stout.

Angry fist of Santa tasting at Chris_o’s. Black, very dark brown, with thin tan head. Good stout. Lovely choc intense malt aroma. It’s a pretty good stout. Bitter finish. It’s good. Nothing exceptional, but smooth and bitter.

Bottle from Bello Vino Mkt. A beautiful, drinkable stout! Aroma and flavor are of a licorice plant growing from deep black soil. Faint notes of creme and whiskey round out a surprisingly drinkable ale. Brilliant.

Very good. Nice aroma chocolate, caramel, roast. Nice lacing on the glass. Pretty sweet but wont fall into the category because of the hoppy background. Well rounded stout. Usually one of the main picks during winter time or when im in a stout mood.
