12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours black with a thick, beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and some hops. Nothing that stands out. Flavor pretty good for a stout, with the chocolate and roasted malts being present but not overpowering. A good beer.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a white head. Smells and tastes big and roasty with some sweet citrus splashes on the finish.

Bottled. Poured deep brown with a colossal dark tan head that wasn’t interested in receding.. not usually a good sign when it pours like that. The aroma picked up a lovely blend of sweeter, dry-roasted chocolates, vanilla, and lesser earthy character.. fresh, airy feel around.. I really dug it. The flavor found mostly sweet molasses and vanilla extract at the core, with similar sticky sugars extending outward and hanging on the finish.. most of the roast gave way to sweetness, but a little came back with some chocolate bitterness on the finish.. more molasses on the aftertaste.. not great, but no real complaints. Lighter-bodied and very heavily carbonated on the palate.. almost had to chew through the bubbles.. not as dry or roasty as I wanted, but still an aiight brew.

Malt aroma with light roasted hints. Dark brown color with a small brown head. Light sweet beginning with a bitter finish.

Nearly black pour. Tan head. Light charred aroma with some coffee and cocoa. Flavor is very dry, cocoa powder, charcoal and maybe a hint of smoke. Average.

Bottle courtesy of Cletus poured a clear dark brown nearly black with a lasting tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, bitter chocolate and light coffee. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of roasted malt, bakers cocoa and a hint of coffee with a smooth lingering roasty finish.

Stout is not my favorite style but Cavalry offers up a nice stout with this offering. At $7.99 a six pack this is less than you can generally get 1-2 bottles of any other stout. Good value though you may be critical if you are more of a stout lover than I.

12 oz. bottle. English pint shows a nearly black color with frothy, tan head. Over carbonated like the previous two bottles I’ve had from this brewer. Nose is roasted malt and barley. Flavor is roasted barley, grain and malt, with a light amount of chocolate sweetness. Texture is ashy. Overall no real problems but nothing to go out of your way for.

another miss unfortunately for this new brewer, not fair to call this is dry stout, more of a baltic porter? maybe...i dunno, just trying to find something nice to say.
