Bottle, 4.7% ABV. Dark brown with a light tan head that settles to a coat. Earthy aroma with mocha and light roast. Lightish bodied. Dry with roasted and mocha flavours, mostly coffee. Modest bitterness. Entirely pleasant but uneventful. Is what it promises.

Draft at 420 (NYC). Dark pour. Medium body - roasty, medium hops, some bitterness. A good session stout.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a very dark brown to black with almost no head but a slight ring of light tan bubbles and little lacing that slides down into the beer almost immediately. Aroma and taste is malts, black liquorice, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Palate is very dry (imagine that). Medium bodied with slick textures, lively carbonation and a short, bitter finish in which the hops come through very well. This very tasty and makes a nice session beer, but nothing particularly outstanding or memorable overall.

Draft at Flipdaddy’s, served in a pint glass. Pours a dark brown color with almost no head. The aroma has chocolate, roasted malts, and almost something resembling cream or lactose. The flavor has the same notes along with some dark fruits. Light-bodied, with mellow carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. Didn’t seem totally true to style but was a light, easy-to-drink beer.

On keg in Tap East. Opaque black, off white head. Nose is faint, it’s pretty cold on keg. Roasted malt, liquorice. Taste is lots of liquorice, even with a slightly sweet tang, earthy, roasted malt. Body is thick like Guinness.

Dark brown/black color; Medium body; Aroma of toasted malt, some cocoa, & coffee; Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, some hops, and coffee; Dry finish and slightly bitter; Decent.

Mild roasty and earthy aromas. Brown-black with red highlights and a moderately lingering khaki head. Dry and clean with flavors redolent of an iced Americano. Medium bodied with pleasant carbonation, that makes for a tremendously smooth beer, and subtle bitter, roasty flavors in the finish.

Pour is black in color with almost no head. Aroma lite but pleasant coffee,sugar and malts. Thin and medium carbonation. Flavor is lightly sweet,bitter and dry.

12oz, originally brought to share at rbwg because of its low rate count but never got the chance to share it (and with all that was opened, this would never have gotten more than an ounce poured out anyways) ... . deep brown .. mild foam .. . nice meaty roastiness .. . slick sweet mouth .. . a really nice beer .. . . hey alton, punch that asian in the face!

Brooklyn does a good job of explaining why thi sis labeled Dry. They are straightforward with the fact that this is supposed to be a session beer. This is a chocolate coffee stout that is not too offensive to people who do not drink stouts normally. The packaging makes it marketable during St. Patrick’s Weekend.
