3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 ounce can
Maybe it was the dancing cow on the can or the low price point but this one jumped off the shelf. Contrary to some of the ratings below I didn’t think it was too bad for the price. I certainly would not want to be stuck with a six pack but it is hardly a drain pour.
Aroma / Appearance - Fluid creamy black liquid moves like watery ink. A thin ivory head doesn’t provide much coverage for the black coffee, whole milk, and sweet Hershey’s chocolate. It actually smells like someone melted a chocolate bar over a fire in preparation for smores.
Flavor / Palate - Black coffee, chocolate milk, and malt are creamy and smooth. The faint bitterness could be emphasized a bit more. I like the sweetness although overall it is a pretty basic stout. I might consider another release but I doubt it with so many other New York offerings out there.

Shared by turdferguson. Man, I think its really funny how much that shit on other beers in their beers description and then their beer sucks my cock. Nose is really acidic, smells like something rancid. There’s something akin to roast in there....Thin in the mouth, despite the use of lactose... I’m not putting more thought into descrbing this. bad.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can. Black with a small tan head. Nose is rotten vegetables, spoiled milk, light roast, metal. Thin mouthfeel, lightly acidic, roast. Not much of a stout.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12-oz can from variety pack bought at Food Emporium. Black pour into English pint glass, small (for a stout) off-white head. Aroma and flavor are both a little milky and a little chocolatey. Light mouthfeel. Nothing really remarkable, but a simple, drinkable, decent-tasting stout. Almost like a porter.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can at a bar. Poured into a pint glass, this beer didn’t have much of a head of typical stouts. Perhaps this beer was skunky, but overall there’s too much sour tastes for me to enjoy the chocolate and oat notes of this beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Good, cheap stout. Nothing special, but when the shelves are packed with everything russian, imperial, and coffee-infused this one is there to save the day. Aroma? Stouty. Pours like a stout. Taste? Stout flavored. End of story.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can. Almost black, small brown head. Aroma of Hershey bar dipped in coffee. Taste is similar. Medium body. Not complex, but not bad.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From the can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Roasted grain, chocolate aroma with an overriding metallic note. Smooth creamy roasted grain, chocolate with hints of coffee in the taste.

Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. From Rob. Very dark with a small tan head. A sweet roasted aroma with cream. Big hop bite to start. Citrus and bitter. Ok.
