Huge head and it lasts forever. Dry is also an apt descriptor here. Dry stout usually means bland stout, but this is actually quite roasted and full flavored, just very dry. The burnt malt bitterness lingers a bit on the tongue.

Pours a deep dark color almost black with a light ruby tint when held up to the light, there is a big fluffy tan head. The aroma is simple with some coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor is nicely roasty with a good mocha character and a nice mild hop bitterness. Texture is creamy and very nice.

aroma is of cocoa and and malts. flavor is deeply chocolate and toffee and some some firewood background. aftertaste is creamy with a nice balance of dark sugary malts and hops. very nice, a better than average stout.

Poured black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Watered down flavor of chocolate and coffee.

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2009 Pours a deep dark black with long lasting creamy tan head. Creamy malty flavor with hints of coffee. Finish is dry and creamy

Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a deep brown color with a thin beige head that diminished to a layer. Uninspiring nose with hints of bakers chocolate, some light roast, and a sweet fruitiness. Smooth, moderately sweet entry leads into a awkward sour twang with some faint roastiness and some sweet fruity flavors that ends lightly dry. Fizzy on the palate and a bit thin. I am not sure this bottle was in good shape given some of the other reviews and the light sourness present. I guess I will have to retry in the future.
