(12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Tan head atop black body. Aroma is medium sweet, roast, coffee, some chocolate, light cherry. Taste is medium sweet, roast, some coffee, light burnt, cola. Watery light-medium body.

12oz bottle-pours a thick, retaining foamy to rocky light brown head and midnight black color. Aroma is dark malt-oatmeal/coffee, roasty, a hint of acidic. Taste is dark malt- coffee/oatmeal, cocoa, roasty, a hint of acidic. Smoky finish. OK carbonation. Not my style but nice.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark black (with brown edges) and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of roast, chocoalte, and light coffee. Tastes of roast and coffee. Tastes on the thin side. Body thin and watery.

Dark black beer with a thin dark brown head. Aroma is very sweet and chocolatey. Milk chocolate and a touch of earthy character. Flavour is very chcolatey with just a soft roastiness on the back. I quite like this actually.

bottle thanks to unclemike. Pours a black color with a big bubbled dark tan head. Aroma is verty toasty malt and very much coffee. And the taste is a dry coffee flavor with some dry hop/malt in the background. Carbonation is right, mouthfeel is a bit watery. Still a fun beer to drink.

Pours a mostly opaque with dark mahogany edges and a thin, wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts with some mild earthiness. Body starts fairly full with a nice, light sweetness and well-dissolved carbonation drying out more toward bittersweet, earthy dark chocolate finish. A pretty good dry stout.

A more than competent stout that lives up to its rating. Pours black with a whisp of a white head. Decent roasty aroma. About average mouthfeel, with some chocolate in there. Very drinkable stout.

Bottled. Poured very deep brown, perhaps black with a grand initial cap of deep brown head.. receded rather quickly. The aroma picked up lightly smoked dark chocolates above all, simple, but well-executed.. nice ’n malty. The flavor had nice dark chocolate and light smoke initially, but picked up heavy sour tannins on the back-end.. came back with some dried dark chocolate and cocoa at the finish. Probably a touch lighter on medium-bodied on the palate with a decent flow. Not bad.
