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 with a small head, clear body, and black color. Hints of molasses, roasted toffee, flowers, and port. Full body with a sticky texture and lively palate. Long flavor leading to an absolutely fantastic beer.

Great find- dark black pour - head that wouldn’t settle - nice lacing- taste is smooth stout. flavor comes out more as it warms... this is a very drinkable brew that fits well into my taste. Nice balance of coffee/roast - I think I prefer the Imperials but this is very good. Cheers

This was very good and creamy. Love that it’s only 6%. Just goes to show ya not everything has to be Imperial to be very good.

A dark dark stout with a thin moka head, and big chunks at the bottom. A nice bitter chocolate malt, cream, light hops, figs, and dried fruits. In mouth, a good moka chocolate, cold coffee, roasted bitterness, a bit of burned notes. A good pleasing stout.

Bottle; batch 7648. Pours black with a creamy tan head that settles to a light layer & ring and left behind good lacing. Aromas of milk chocolate, coffee, and a slight roast. The flavor is much the same but with the roast standing out much more. Full body, smooth, and a coffee and roast aftertaste. Very nice Stout!!

Pours a dark brown with a half finger beige head. Smells are roasted malt, dark chocolate, toffee, caramel. Flavor is sweet roasted malt and hops up front with a burnt coffee and bitter dark chocolate finish. Seemed a little thin for a stout, almost the consistency of a porter. Great beer nonetheless.

Bottle aquired in trade from StFun. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Roasted malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Smooth and even on the palate. Just a tad thin or I would have thought it was an imperial stout. An overall great brew.
