Draft at the Beer Trmple. Black pour with massive brown head. Roasted aroma with chocolate, malt and coffee. Flavour of dark chocolate, roasted malts and a little dark fruit. Medium to low carbonation and medium body. Very good considering the low ABV for the style.

Pours a pitch black color with not much head or lacing. Aromas of chocolate, charcoal, smoked vanilla, and maltiness. Taste is very eas drinking for a stout of this quality. Restrained roastiness, taste is similiar to aroma.
