Bottle ( 12oz ). Opaque black, average tan creamy-foamy head, not too thick-looking. Deep almost burnt dry roast aroma, herbal and slightly salty.

Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom! It’s blac with a light-brown, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, flower/fruit, licorice and I sense the softness from the oat. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, licorice, soft oat, and very light fruit and even lighter hints of smoke. The finish in this pleasant stout is slightly dry.
