(Bottle). Chocolate and sweet malt aroma. Black body, gigantic fizzy light brown head. Bittersweet chocolate flavor, touch of roasted malt. Smooth mild finish. Carbonation all seems to go to the head, leaving the body a bit flat and thin. Still, very pleasing.

From the bottle. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. For some reason mine had a ton of carbonization...which is weird, especially for a sweet stout. Not much flavor to it and it seemed watery to me. Bad bottle?

12oz bottle. Pours deep brown with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma of cocoa and roasted chocolate malt. Chocolate and cocoa are the dominant flavors, with coffee, roasted malt, nuts, and some metallic character. Thinner body than I expected. Long, coffee finish.

Bottled. Foamed right out of the bottle.. poured medium-dark brown with a huge pillowy beige head. The aroma picked up dry-roasted darker chocolates with an odd toasted grainy sourness. The flavor had sour lactose throughout with a sweeter chocolate base.. caaramel and some coffee bitterness on the back.. nothing really enticing here. Way too much carbonation on the palate and it really filled the mouth.. lighter-bodied. Not very good.

Dark beer with a short lived brown head. Dark caramel and roasted grain nose. Initial taste is of very roasted grains with some coffee bean bitterness and an almost cigarette smoke. There is sweetened coffee and chocolate that comes out in the finish. It is a little waterery, but not a bad stout.
