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.

12oz bottle got through tade with StFun. pours black with minimal tan head, aroma isnt all that strong but filled with roasted malt, flavor of roasted malt and slighty sweet. not bad but i was looking for more in this one.

Pours a black body and tan head. The aroma is beautifully roasted malts with plenty of chocolate. The flavor is a kind of bittersweet for a stout with a nice presence of hops. Or at least more than I would normally expect. The mouthfeel is thick enough with an easy finish.

I am convinced these folks in Michigan have some sort of pact with Mephistopheles in brewing exceptional beers of all varieties. Every beer tasted sets a new standard in their respective class- this stout is no exception. The deep dark flavors of the roasted malts miraculously finish out to one hell of a refreshing stout. Very drinkable and highly recommended.

This is like Expedition’s little brother. Not as much kick on the alcohol and not as thick. However it is a very smooth beer and is highly drinkable. I could put a few of these back in one sitting, but probably could only have one expedition.

Draft at Brixx. Dark, near-black color with a medium tan head. Smells nice and roasty and tastes much the same. A lot of roasted nuts and other burnt flavors. Not incredibly complex, but it’s not supposed to be and it’s perfectly balanced. Finishes completely cleanly and is even somewhat thirst-quenching...odd for a beer this heavy. I loved it.

Bottled. Inviting black pour with a light, fizzy beige head into a pint glass. Sweet caramel notes, faint licorice and roasted woods are in the aroma. Great flavor for a smaller stout, Some fruits mixed in with a hefty dark chocolate base and some coffee with vanilla cream. Long and roasty black malt finish with a good dose of bitterness. Sure as hell beats Guinness, I could drink this stuff all night.
