Super dark brown coloured body with a thin oily light brown head. Aroma of tons of roasted malt, milk, coffee and a lot of anise and spice notes. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasted malt flavours with prunes, raisins, nuts and a lot of lactic sugars noticeable. Aftertaste a touch lighter with a slightly thinner body, some caramel sweetness and a lot of earthier, nutty flavours. Overall, a nice robust beer with a complex flavour - a bit needed on the body, but a nice beer to sample for sure! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Pear Delicatessen in Seattle, Washington on 08-February-2013 for US$2.00 sampled a day later in my hotel room in Seattle on 09-February-2013.

Bottle: Poured a deep black with a thin tan color head. Aroma is roasted barley and dark fruit. Taste is a smooth sweet roasted barley.

355ml bottle pours almost black in color with a finger of light beige head that leaves some spotted lacing. Aroma is roasted grains with chocolate and coffee and hints of hops. Taste is roasted malt and coffee bitterness with a caramel chocolatey malt sweetness that balances things out. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation leaving a nice mouthfeel. I wouldn’t go so far as to call this a sweet stout, but this is a really tasty brew and highly recommended.

It was my girlfriend with the dirty mind who laughed at the idea of this beer being "Dick’s Cream". As a heterosexual male, it’s not often I yearn for some "Dick’s Cream", but for this Stout I’ll make an exception. And don’t get me started on describing the "head"...

Pours very dark, almost black, with very little tan head. Aroma is a bit thin, notes of malt, coffee, and dark fruits. Taste is smoother and a bit creamier. Very drinkable and rich, but not as complex or rich as an Imperial. Nicely done!

Bottle with Carla. Pours dark brown with dark tan foam. Smells roasty with a touch of sweetness. Tastes creamy but thin with light coffee and chocolate.

Dark brown, see-through cola-color at the edges. Fizzy light-brown head, fades to nothing after a couple of minutes. Aroma is pine, grass, roast, coffee, and chocolate, all in equal amounts. It doesn’t really smell that sweet or malty though. Light and creamy body. Flavor has a touch of yummy malt sweetness, but this isn’t really a cream/milk/sweet stout in my book. There’s just not enough milky sweetness and body. Grass, light coffee, light bitterness, light sweet malt. There is a lovely twang of yummy caramel-milk that comes out near the aftertaste once the beer is warmed up. It’s the saving grace for this beer, as it is really not impressive otherwise.

12 oz bottle into English pint. This bottle reads 5.5% ABV. Pours opaque black with a gigantic tan head that recedes slowly. Aroma is strong in DME first and foremost, then caramel and cinnamon bread. Taste is a little sweet but more bitter; nice roasty coffee character. Highly carbonated for the style, full-bodied. Lightly creamy. Flawed but tasty nonetheless.

Bottle shared by a friend. Black pour with a huge tan head. Aroma of malt, chocolate and a vegetal note. Roasty flavor with some chocolate and a creamy character.
