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 at chris o’s pre beerexposed tasting. Alround rating: Roasty, thin, not really much going on, pritty boring stuff and not really my style. I cannot see for the life of me how this could get such a high rating.

Delicious stout, big chocolate flavor up front, roasty and smooth, with a dry bitter chocolate finish. Slight scent of licorice, lingering coffee notes in the finish. Pours black with a smooth brown head. Just really well built in every way.

Bottle @ Chris o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours impressively black with a small, creamy, staying, brown head. Sweet aroma, lots of chocolate and coffee. Low carbonation, wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is impeccably elegant. Sweet, light dryness, coffee, cocoa. Stunningly balanced and only 6 %. Great.

Pours jet black with a tan head. The aroma is big coffee. The flavor is largely coffee, with some background chocolate notes. It has a heavy body with low-medium carbonation. This a delicious stout! It is like espresso beer.

Pours black with a dark mocha colored head. Smells of Chocolate, cofee and alchohol. Tastes of rich chocolate, cofee, and alcohol. The flavors blend nicely. I went into this thinking it was an imperial stout, but when i started to smell it i realized it was just a stout. I definety could taste alcohol even though it dosn’t have a ahigh ABV.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown/black with a three finger brown head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt, bitter coffee, slight caramel note and chocolate. Medium/full bodied with soft carbonation and a slightly disappointing mouthfeel. A little thin.
