Pours black with a light tan head. Nice lacing. Nice coffee caramel smell. taste is much the same, a bit one-dimensional but it’s filling. Nice full palate with a light coffee finish.

two finget head on a solid jet black thickness of a pour. the head is really foamy, and the lacing is quite intricate. there’s an almost pool water aroma mixed with a milky way - chocolate and caramel combo. the flavour is rich with chewy plums and a faint but lingering dry mocha. it satisfies the palate, as it’s not watered down at all, as some others in this category have been. i recommend this beer, if nothing else.

220z bottle via captaincougar(thanks)!. Pours a deep dark brown/almost black with fucia edges and a small tan head. Nose is mostly plums and coffee with some chocolate. Taste is the same with some soy, some hops and and some saltiness in the finish. Thin body. Not bad but could use more body and more mocha flavor....

Brewed in Asheville NC, not in Fredrick MD....(thier contract brewery) Pours dark brown to black with small white head. Aromas of roasted malt, some coffee notes and dried fruits and some hops. Flavor is more hoppy than aroma lets on......firm malt and bitterness balances this beer. Flavors meld well leading into a fairly dry finish making this beer non cloying. Lacks a little complexty and freshness in my opinion. Good beer though.

Black as black pour. Mocha colored swirls form on the top of the beer after the giant, pluming head settles. Soft, roasty malts fill the nose - no bitterness or astingency here. Sweet chocolate and woody vanilla fill the voids between. The body is vibrant, with velvetty carbonation leading the way. What follows is a great mix of cocoa, nuts and bittersweet chocolate. Medium body makes for easy drinking. Enough said, I like this stout.

(660ml bottle) Pours a opaque body with a thin, beige head. Nose of vanilla bean with a coffee-bourbon undertone. Strong coffee ground with a cherry finish. Good.

Dark brown. Nice nose - chocolate, coffee, lots of happy malts. Roasty with dark fruits on the palate. Sweet finish, just enough appetizing dryness. Nice stout.

Dark brown body with short, but frothy tan head. Plesant aroma of roasted malts, coffee and sweet chocolate. Flavor is full of roast and coffee with a sweet, toffee-like backbone. Notes of chocolate and licorice. Nice, bitter, clean and dry finish. Smooth texture, medium body. Well put together, enjoyable.
