12 oz. Opaque with a creamy quarter-inch head that endures and frosts the glass. Big molasses, coffee and marshmallow aromas. Flavor is similar, but subdued well by some nice hickory char and additional coffee. Medium body is super-creamy smooth and pleasantly dry, with a very drinkable balance between sticky vs. watery mouthfeel. This one was a very pleasant surprise.

Historically I’m not a big fan of the dry stout style. I think Guiness and its cohorts are generally decent but lacking in flavor. This beer is a pleasantly surprising exception. Silky smooth and pitch black with a dark head that fades quickly, the aroma is strong espresso and raw molasses. Flavor is much the same with a strong deeply bitter finish. Has a bit of sweetness to offset the strong bitter espresso character.

Dark brown body with a small but persistent head. Lots of roasted malts in the aroma, very inviting. The nose is all malts and it fades quickly into a slight hop finish. Very reminiscent of Guinness, but tastier. Good session beer.

Black with brown highlights. Long lasting dense tan head. Faint roasy aroma. Creamy and rich flavor, not too roasty or burnt, clean and more satisfying than the porter.

12oz bottle: pours pitch black with one finger tan head, aroma of what seems like leather, flavor isnt much better didnt think i would be writting this but roased malt and some leather. its not to bad but just doesnt taste right. glad i found this beer but wont buy it again.
