Frothy flavors of chocolate and coffee. Some lighter barley flavors come in: toffee, bread. Slightly alcoholic twang in the end.

Aroma is like a toasted pumpernickel loaf with some cocoa in the background. Flavor is lightly sweet. Not super complex, but pretty well balanced and tasty.

Bottle Shared with GMCC2181., Thanks Gabe. Poured a very dark black color with a reddish head and nice lacing. Aroma is oats, smoke, and malts. Taste is similar with coffee. very thick but enjoyable.

Bottle from stfun...thanks josh! Black as black can get. Toffee colored head, good lacing. Taste is burnt roasted malts and a touch of coffee. Texture was oily but thick, still drinkable though. Close to southern tiers oatmeal stout. Good stout. Thanks josh!

12 oz. bottle thanks to a trade with yem25. Pours a thick, dense black with a moderate dark brown head that faded to a film after about a third of the glass and left a very thin, nearly clear, sheet of foam with each sip that quickly slid back down into the beer. If this thing had any kind of decent head retention, this would have easily been a "5" for appearance. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is roasted malt with some coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Very mild sweetness overall. A bit dry as it approaches the finish. Full bodied. Enjoyable.

Bottle courtesy on StFun. Looks like crude oil coming out of the bottle and settles a dense black with a fast receding one finger tan head in my glass. Very spotty lacing. Nose is dark fruits, smoked oats, something sour that I can’t place, and dark chocolate. Taste is very roasty with black coffee, baker’s chocolate, toasted oats and molasses. Charred and bitter finish. Full creamy mouth feel. Great beer and brewer. Thanks Josh!
