Commercial Description:
This smooth chewy stout has been served along with a filet of tuna coated with a bing-cherry soy dressing as an appetizer, has been seen along Breckenridge's Riverwalk washing down a rich chocolate cake, has been used to make a sweet spice cake, and is, of course, enjoyed just as it is in the pubs along the front range of the Rockies.

Nice deep dark choolate syrup/motor oil pour. Fresh, molasses, pruney like aroma, bit of chocolate to sweeten it up. Thick, dark pour with a caramel color head and a fair amount of lacing. Excellent stout flvaor - hint of bittersweet chocolate and burnt coffee. Flavor does not let up throughout the entire 12 oz - does not sour or bitter up. Overall - an excellent stout! Thanks Aurelius for this one.

Black (and I mean BLACK) in color. I held the glass up to a light and couldn’t see through it. Absolutely no head, but I won’t hold that against it. A smooth flavor with a slightly creamy chocolate aftertaste. For a second, I thought I was drinking sarsparilla or real root beer.

Find a bottle that hasn’t been sitting long. Pull out your favorite beer food (bangers and mash, personally). Eat and drink. It’s good. 8-) This is a lighter stout with good chocolate flavors (if you get a young bottle). The head doesn’t exist.

Dark and rich. Chocolate, malty, good and smooth. I’d have one for desert.

A pretty good chocolate stout. Nice chocolaty aroma. Not the best chocolate stout I have had.
