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.

Enjoyable full-bodied stout with a licorice undertone, solid roasted, caramel and chocolate malts. Not sure who the guy on the label is supposed to be, but he should take pride in knowing his mug graces a great beer.

Thanks to HogTownHarry!!! Appearance: Deep dark black, small but consistent off white head. Aroma: Malt, smoke, peat and cream, some slight dark fruit lingering in the background. Flavour: Light body, smoke, peat, chocolate, lots of carbonation, a dry peaty finish, very enjoyable. Thanks Harry!

Bottle thanks to tjthresh. Pours a black/dark brown pour. Iced coffee, caramel, roasted malt, and hints of cocoa. Nice mouth feel with some sweetness and a balanced roasty flavor. Quite good.

Thanks DrHomolka! Thick black, sandy 2 finger head had some dull grey in it, maybe I had licorice on the brain. All I get is black malt on the nose though. Lighter in body than it looks, lots of roast, balanced and sustained, tastes much deeper than only 6%

Duane, thank you! Poured black, black as night. Poured smooth like velvet With a HUGE brown Foamy, frothy head. As it settled, the lacing was left like the mountains and I could not wait. Aroma had plenty of caramel and roasted malts, chocolate and something I can’t place. Oh, smooth, with roasted chocolate malty roasted caramel goodness. THIS IS STOUT BABY! Damn! Wish I had more. Finished dry and the mouth feel was full, like whipped cream. Duane, You ROCK! Thanx again. Yum! Get your paws on this. This was perfect!

This is some deep dark stout. Holding it up to a light...still looks jet black. Dark carmel head. Not much of it, but what there is lingers in a nice lacy ring around the rim. Smooth dark roast and coffee aroma. Hints of port, leather, and cinnamon. Body is wonderfully chewy and mouthfilling, coating the pallette with goodness. Lingering, oh so smooth finish. Flavors of dark roast toffee, carmel, chocolate, coffee, all playing off of each other in careful balance. Complex, wonderful stuff.

12oz. bottle: This pours an inky, dark brown color. There was very little brown head to this one. The aroma is raosted coffee, with some sweetness also. Possible chocolate and caramel. The taste is quite rich. It is silky, sweet, and has roasted coffee, chocolate. Full bodied. Extremely nice!

Deep black with tan head. Roast coffee/malt aroma. Roast malt flavors without smokiness/burnt flavors. Some bitterness, some dark fruits. Great stout.
