12 oz bottle from Lukas Liquor Superstore. Pours black with a small dark tan head that dissipates quickly and remains slightly lacy. Not quite a four finger width head. Smells of burnt roasted malts, sweet cherry chocolate, some bitter hops, and some mocha. Not a bad smelling smout. Feels and tastes slightly watered down with a thin body. Taste of sweet cherry chocolate again, roasty, kind of acidic but not citrusy, more of an oatmeal stout flavor/feel. Very dry finish with a lingering light bitterness. Overall, a little watery, but not a bad stout. Again, I compared it to an oatmeal stout, but it does have more taste than some of the generic oatmeal stouts I’ve had. Not a bad beer.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is rich and yummy with molasses, rich roastiness, some smoky qualities and a bit of burnt malts. The taste is roasty to burnt with an under current of chocolate malts. There’s a mild malt astringency along with an earthy quality both coming together to add an extra dimension to the experience. Very nice stout.

I didn’t expect much but I really enjoyed this. The aroma is lightly smoky with ample roasted malt and coffee accents. The flavor is define by those roasted notes and gives up the expected chocolate/coffee and burnt malt flavors. Simple and narrow in flavor profile, but satisfying if you have a roasted malt tooth. Which I do. Much better than anticipated.

Bottle courtesy CigarCityBrew. Pours black with a one finger tan head that fades leaving some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and bitter chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

Thanks unclemike. Another state bites the dust. Black pour with minimal head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Taste is very malted with a little hop finish.
