On tap. Nearly black, with a slight tan head that was gone by the first sip. Somewhat oily and slick, but medium-bodied and very drinkable. Flavor of coffee, roasted malt, cereal, and a hint of bittersweet chocolate. Delicious.

Dark sasparilla body with ultra pillowy ovaltine colored head. Chocolatey, musty malt aroma interrupted by some old shoe. The flavor actually transcends the inconsistencies of the aroma by offering up a full chocolate ovaltine and malt flavor that would pair well with poutine and cheese.

A good Stout, and the best thing I have tried from Boneyard so far. I look forward to more.

Really nice nose of coffee roast dark chocolate and pleasant sweetness. Black pour tan head. Flavors of dry espresso roast dark bittersweet chocolate roasted grains light bitterness and a nice dry lingering finish. Medium body smooth drinkable. Really nice.

Tap @ Boneyard... Poured dark brown with a thin, off-white head. Some big cocoa tones here and hints of pressed coffee. Roasted malts made a presence with a nice mild palate and suitable body for the drying finish.

Clear dark brown color/ tan sheen. Dark roast malt, mocha coffee aromas. Light to medium bodied. Sugared and creamed up coffee flavors with mild chocolate, smooth easy finish with no bite--too smooth and slick---decent

Draft at ncbc. Pours black with a dense and creamy tan head. Loose spotty lace. Big sweet chocolate nose. Creamy full body with lively carb. Sweet chocolate mid palate with mild roasty notes. Chocolatey finish.

Draught. Pours dark black with thin fast dissipating beige head. Little lacing. Full aroma, chocolate and coffee with malty notes. Flavour is roast malt, espresso coffee and bittersweet chocolate with toast. Lingering coffee finish.

Draft pour in a shaker pint. Dark brown in color with a light beige head. Minimal lace and retention. Very roasty, coffee nose, that also has chocolate and faint skunk. Roasty bitter flavor, mild dark chocolate sweetness. Medium body, creamy-thin texture, and a short dry finish.

Huge roast aroma with complex notes of chocolate, big espresso, leather, tobacco and vanilla with just a slight hint of resin and citrus from hops. Nearly opaque with ruby edges, frothy and short-lived dark tan head. Medium caramel and chocolate sweetness with medium-low resin bitterness. Medium body, decent carbonation. Balanced attack, bitterness most apparent through middle and finishes long, astringent and a bit dry. The great thing about this beer is that it will never make you too tired to have another one. If you love your espresso and you love your beer, you will love this.
