Bottle brought by la Li. Black colour, small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, rye, chocolate. Flavour of sweet roasted malts, rye, chocolate. Fairly bitter. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

Awesome stout from Bell’s. Pours a dark black with just a thin creamy layer of froth. Alcohol and coffee grounds is noticeable on the nose. Taste is really unique, has a dryness present all throughout the beer. Roasted and toasted, dark chocolate, and very earthy. A really cool beer, and an interesting take on the style."

12 oz. bottle with the face of some ugly old man on it pours dark brown and red around edges witha minamal tan head meduim in body with aromas of rye,coffe and hopstaste is of the samewith a slightly dry rye finish this one was very good batch # 9370 where the hell is 9000

Cloudy dark brown with a large tan quickly dissolving crown. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, rye and a touch of peat. Taste of rye, chocolate and roasted sweet malt. Smooth with low bitterness. Sweetens up a bit as it warms. The rye is a nice addition, I like this one.

Pours a rich black/brown with thin to no head. Aroma is strong with roasted malts. Notes of rye, burnt malts, dark fruits, and bitter chocolate stand out. On the palate it is chewy. The flavor really brings out the burnt malts and it finishes rather dry. I was vey impressed with this beer.

12 oz bottle. Dark brown long-lasting tan head. Nose is great. Vanilla malt coffee caramel plum alcohol. Taste is beautifully creamy cocoa coffee vanilla creamy goodness. Some sweetness to go with the bitterness definitely. Yummy goodness. A better than the majority stout.

On draught at RFD. Deep chestnut brown with a scant white head. Aroma of rye bread with some roasted coffee beans. Very creamy body, almost chewy like a Guinness. Very subtle flavor of dark milk chocolate at first, progressing to a dark pumpernickel, then finishing with a bitter edge. A keeper.

Growler purchased from Liquor Barn, Louisville, KY (Springhurst). Served in a pint glass, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and rye. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma, but with the addition of some dark fruit and a little bit of licorice. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s creamy and has good carbonation. Drinkability is good, it’s smooth and goes down easy. I think this is a good overall brew, and a great beer for a cold winter day. I’d definitely buy this again.
