Pours jet black with a nice tan head and leaves very nice lacing... Not hugely aromatic, smells slightly of roasted malts, a bit sweet... Roasty for days with slight hints of bitter chocolate and a very subtle hint of coffee... The initial flavor blast subsides into an airy almost light finish with a bit of lingering roastiness... Medium to full bodied...

Bottle: Dark, dark brown with a long lasting tan head. Malty and mild chocolate aroma. Sweet and malty flavors with a hint of dark chocolate bitterness and cardboard. Smooth feel and easy to drink. It’s hard not to judge it against the fine Imperial Stout - Expedition. But, if I pretend I have never tasted Expedition, I would think this is a solid stout.

Very good nose of coffee and chocolate..pours black with a brown head. good flavors of chocolate , roasted malt, molasses, brown sugar and hints of vanilla. finishes somewhat sweet. Good stout

12 oz bottle. pours thick with a creamy yet firm head. The aromas are complex: heavy roasted malts combined with dark espresso roast; also, thicker oatmeal like aromas hidden underneath the cacao bean. thick, also rich in flavor. brown sugar and molasses as well as baking chocolate and a smooth yet bitter coffee finish. this is a tasty ale. as it warms, the alcohol still is well hidden, but the heavier than expected carbonation is revealed. all in all, it’s a damn good stout...one i would gladly imbibe on draft.

Pours black with light brown head. Burnt malt aroma. Burnt malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Full body with mild carbonation and a moderately bitter finish. Very nice.
