Great flavor -- the chicory and coffee and licorice make it complex and interesting without being overpowering. Unfortunately, it’s a bit thin and not nearly as chewy as I’d like in a stout.

Dark brown color. Coffee notes, Nestle Quik chocolate hints and fudgey nose. Body is mildly choclatey with coffee notes and light hops. Very nice, mild stout, didn’t quite get get all the notes listed in the description but a nice beer nonetheless.

Coffee and chocolatey goodness. Sweet and bitter all at once. Just slightly watery, but enough flavor in the front and mid to make up for it. Even my Mom took a sip without making her usual ’ewww...beer’ face.
