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.

Syrupy black pour—great head with lacing. Nose is coffee and a little fruit with ever-so-slight hops. Chewy mouthfeel. Taste is strong coffee with consistent smooth malts. Caramel finish with some hops. Very complex, powerful brew. Awesome, but I prefer Expedition.

Pours dark with a light tan head. Aroma similar to taste with some dry toastiness and a little bitterness. A good beer.

Lovely fat aroma for a 6% brew, loads of "brown" smells of molasses, chocolate, light caramell, smooth roasted flavours and some coffe. Very big for the ABV, very drinkable and perfectly balanced but the aroma is a just a bit fater and more inviting then the taste actually delivers.

Pours nearly black with a thin beige head and nice lacing. Coffee aroma and a little roasted malt. The flavor is complex with some coffee, malt, chocolate and a mildly smoky finish. Medium-heavy mouth feel is satisfying. Not too sweet nor bitter, good balance. Overall quite good and will probably be a regular for me.

bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Really nice yeasty and roasted malt aroma. Some oats in there as well. Flavors are fairly sweet with roasted malt being the primary flavor, accented by some molasses and maple syrup. Ends dry with a coffee tone. Mouth is medium bodied with light carbonation. Very drinkable!!!

This amazing beer starts out with a complex aroma. Rich aroma. The tastes come in as a malty sweetness. the beer finishes with no bitterness whatever.
