Bottle-- solid black color with a tan head. A lot of carbonation for a stout. Aroma of chocolate and roasted coffee. The taste is dominated by chocolate sweetness and roasted malts. The finish is a sweet tartness, a bit too much for me. Produce place. Oh yea, what’s up with the tiny bottle?

Dark brown color with rich amber-brown spongy head, fruity aroma, mild carbonation, coffee-caramel flavor, medium finish. Liked it.

Bottle split with mcberko. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, chocolate and a little coffee. Flavour brings out much of this sweetness, balanced by roasted malts, but the sweet chocolate dominates. Solid.

300mL bottle, pours black with a thick beige head. Feint aroma of roasted / toasted malt, light molasses and coffee. Flavour of sweetened chocolate, light espresso and roasted malts. Sweet and medium-bodied. Decent.

Bottle at Slaughtered Lamb. Pours black. Nose/taste of toasted black malt, powdered milk and burnt baker’s chocolate. Light to medium body. Bitter fake chocolate finish.

284 ml bottle. Jet black with small beige head. Nose is roasted malt and some cocoa. Taste was very sugary and something was off for me. Very thin body. more carbonation then a stout should have. I don’t get any of the typical flavors of a stout. Tasted more like a soda pop then a stout. I don’t taste any ABV, maybe because of all the sugar and corn syrup. This brew just doesn’t work for me at all. I will NOT drink again.

bottle shared with Deanso. Pours brown, small white head with very low retention. Bready yeasty aroma. Flavor is very sweet and it’s pretty thin but not in a subtle tasty way

284ml a year old from my cellar. Not much white head. Dark amber pour. A little too sweet for a stout
