Jan 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours pitch black with a 2 cm foamy tan head that is lasting. Aroma of chocolate dominates the maltiness. Flavor is balanced between the bitter chocolate, mild malts, and a hint of sweet creaminess. Tons of lacing, no noted carbonation, and light on alcohol. Medium to full body. Drinkable and great for when you want a big tasting beer without the imperial alcohol.

Jan 27, 2008 malty and moderate of flavor and body. light charcoal taste that weaves in and out of this dark and hardly menacing looking brew. a dank sweetness this is a good stout with adequate carbonation that is somewhat biting. hardly any chocolate to my taste.

Jan 26, 2008 Not much to say about this one and I think they want it that way. Its not an imperial , dry, or sweet stout. Its just a stout. Well balanced with a good amount of flavor for a 6% brew. Drink all night with no regrets. Fine Bell’s product.

Jan 26, 2008 April 2006 - This was one fine beer...and I have 5 left (tempting me to hoard them all for myself). Beer poured dark, dark brown, with a very small head and almost no lacing. Highlights of red came through on the bottom and edges of my pint glass when held right up to the light. Initially, the flavor was all roasty with some coffee, but got immensely better as it warmed (don’t go too fast!). Lactic tones came out making me think this should be touted as the best milk stout in the world. Perfect creaminess and hop balance. Freaking tasty!

Jan 25, 2008 Thanks Jay23 for the great extra and the opportunity to try this one
Batch number 8055 bottle poured into a large tulip glass. Jet black body with a tan head that goes into a nice layer of lace
Aromas of molasses and toasted grains fill your head
Medium creamy mouth feel
Taste is sweet malts with flavors of coffee and a slight hop bitter (where is the licorice?)
A very easy to drink stout a nice finish to the night if it was available I drink it again

Jan 25, 2008 My new favorite basic stout. I like the smooth, yet flavorful mouthful that is followed by a mild hoppy taste. I real nice combination.
