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.

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).
