12oz bottle. Poured a dark black color with a huge sized tan head. Aromas of roast, light chocolate, and coffee. Tastes were roasty, chocolate, coffee, and some oats. Body way to fizzy and over carbonated (as the huge head would have suggested).

Bottle from Capone’s. Deep blackish pour with big, 3-finger brown head that goes away fairly quickly. Aroma of roasty dark malt, chocoff, some jalapeno oil. Tastes rich, roasty malty, with some chocoff, ovaltine, and slight dark fruit hints as it warms. Not bad.

Poured an opaque black color with a large, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, light smoke, anise, cocoa, and a bit of smoke. Taste of more roast, smoke, burnt malts, some lactic acid, more anise, and an acidic mouthfeel.

12oz bottle shared at columbus tasting - Pours black with a short offwhite head and little lace. Aromas of slight roast and some chocolate. Flavor is lots of roast and some slight chocolate and maybe a touch of coffee. Fizzy and overcarbonated on the palate with a somewhat dry finish for a sweet stout.
