Bottle from RR Street Linfield. Pours turbid jet with 1-finger brown head. Nose is great roasty black patent and choc malts, molasses, nuts, hops, blackberry, plum, spice, not sure if wood here. Tastes rich, hoppy, with a dense complex palate with roasty velvety nitrogenated black patent and choc malt smoothness coupled with big hops, molasses, cacao, blackberry and fig, and hops and heavy spruce in the finish. This one is sublime and outstanding.

11.2oz bottle. Poured a deep black color with a large light chocolate head that retained well and left sticky lacing. Aroma of coffee grounds, dark malts, licorice, earth, and ash. Tasted of roasty malts, coffee, bitter chocolate and a bit of smoke. The alcohol is well masked. The body is on the thick side with tingly, smooth carbonation and a dry finish.

Quite a delicious stout this is. It is jet black with a creamy head that is almost brown. It tastes of coffee and dark chocolate with a spicy vanilla undertone that adds a wonderful complexity. Exceedingly smooth and delicious.

Bottle from Belmont Station. Pours black with a 3 finger creamy darkish tan head. Aromas of chocolate, treacle, and maybe anise. Full bodied. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, treacle and maybe anise. Probably anise. The burnt malt is sort of mocha. Very interesting stuff.

This brew is a brownish-black color with a medium creamy light brown head that recedes slowly to an outer ring. Small patches of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of roasted coffee, chocolate and a bit of hops. Full-bodied and smooth with a roasty character and notes of bittersweet chocolate, coffee, licorice and hops. The finish is charred malt and coffee. Pretty good overall.

Black color, brownish head. Dusty aroma of roasted and burnt malt. Good body, with strong flavor of roasted malts, dark chocolate; a bit dusty, and with some salty liquorish. Not my kind, a bit too roasty, missing some alternative dimension.

Bottle from Beer Revolution. Pours pitch black with a thick light brown head and a strong coffee and treacle aroma. There is a rich chocolate and molasses flavor with an anise finish. Very nice brew.
