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.

Black with good, creamy brown head / Toasty, malty nose / Big, full, chewy body with malt and hop balance with long, lingering finish / Dark roast flavors of coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and blackstrap molasses / Terrific.

Tap. Black body, coffee nose, small tan head. Mostly coffee flavors, dry, slightly bitter, very drinkable.

Batch 7837. Bottle. Dark pour with a sliver of light filtering through the edges. Thin tan head that vainishes into a slick of lace. Smells of chocolate and roasted malt. More chocolate on the initial taste. Some bitterness from the hops help even the big malt presence. Very nice mouthfeel, fullness that nicely entertains the palate. Finish...well imagine a fine piece of dark chocolate melting in ones mouth. Very nice.

Poured from a bottle that is roughly 10 months old. Pours darks and thick, not much head. Sweet aroma. Not the strongest flavor but very smooth. Good hints of coffee. Very solid stout.

Dark chocolate scent and taste. Serious malt. This is a dryer more bitter Stout than usual. Not bad. Probably like this better than the Double Cream.

Pours black as mud with a sweet and candylike aroma. The flavor is robust and very coffee like, yet mild.

Bottle: Opaque pour with a thick bubbly tan head. Nose is full of roasted barley, black licorice, dark chocolate and a nice smoky hop suggestion. Flavor is robust dark malts, creamy dark chocolate malted ice cream richness, late licorice suggestions, and a strong, burnt salty bitter finish. This Stout has a great hop character to balance the massive body, making is extremely quaff-able. Perfect for sessions.
