3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee aroma. Dry, roasty, coffee, chocolate flavor.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice and dark, I was amazed at the low alchohol content because the dryness fools you into thinking the beer has more punch than that. Really nice roasty flavour, chocolate flavour. Will definitely get it if I see it on tap.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a very dark brown with a small, light brown head. Dry, with a roasty flavor. Strong coffee notes. Very flavorful.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Little bit of a disappointment. Reminds me a little bit of not-so-great Estonian Stouts. Aroma is very promissing and you can smell especially coffee and chocolate. Head is quite thin. The taste is the biggest problem. This would definitely need more hops to be a well balanced world class stout. Too juicy to my taste. First real disappointment from this brewery.

Bottle from Wegmans. Black pour with thick vanishing tan head. Smell is coffee and chocolate. Some roast and caramel maybe as well. Taste is dark but the light body takes control. Nice
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Wegmans Leesburg. It pours a very dark brown with a small light tan head. The nose has a little roast and milk sugar. Fairly light on the tongue, there is a good bit of roasted malt, slight mineral, and a slight fruitiness. Light to medium body with a dry finish. Not bad but there are others that I would pick first for the style.
