It’s a pitch black stout with a creamy, huge head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavour has a nice, but rather pronounced bitterness and notes of chocolate, a light, smooth sweetness, coffee and licorice. It’s a nice stout with a relatively low ABV and a lot of flavour - I like that. Thank you After4ever/Tom for this one, that I had on my wish list!!! 2063

Smells toasty, but lightly so. Deep brown, with a head that ran away at once. Starts with toasted malt, develops some sweetness, followed by a hint of sour, and not a lot of bitterness. There is something uncommon, and I guess that’s the cream aspect. Very smooth mouthfeel, but there’s a slight burst of sour, if you swish it around. This is really something that stands alone. The aftertaste is a combination of sour and bitter - but low levels, and it’s just very good and uncommon.

Bottle... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Drank this one while checking out the beach around 10 AM, September 1st. The beach, from the dune to low-tide water (80 yards) is completely flat, damp and hard. Looks like khaki-colored glass. Surreal... post WWIII looking. Dry sand blowing up the beach (south to north) like snow blowing across the highway during a cold, dry winter storm. Eerie, but cool looking! Anyway, the brew... it pours pitch black with a small, fizzy, light brown head. Very rich, chocolaty nose with lots of toasted nuts and heavy molasses. The flavor matches the aroma with an additional touch of caramel. Nearly full-bodied and very creamy with lively carbonation. Toasty, moderately bitter, lightly tangy finish. Better than expected. Thanks kenb!

12oz bottle. This one poured all head. Settled into a dark reddish / brown color. Aromas of chocolate, roast, light caramel and light smoke. Tastes of bitter chocolate, roast and coffee.

Bottle sampled on 2/13/07: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a light tan head. Aroma of molten milk chocolate, roasty malt and a touch of sweetness. Body starts lightly dark caramely malty along with earthy roasted malts and a hint of tartness. An ok cream stout.

A cola-like head on this one. Smell is an oily cream with some mild chocolate. Thin and carbonated, with some light crisp flavors of grains, milk and some metallic tones.
