On tap at Wilimington brewery: Dark, small toffee colored head. Smelled like chocolate and malt. Flavor is perfect amount of roasted malt. Good thickness to it. The 9 percent is almost unoticable until it lingers in with a sweet after taste. I really enjoyed this beer.

Another stout that I just don’t seem to enjoy. For some reason I can’t get bast the roasted flavor that reminds me of coffee. Although there seemed nothing too great about this stout it did receive compliments from friends of mine.

06 bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a black color with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and a slight fruitiness. Sweet chocolate malts with nice toffee character balance well with the roasty finish that dried out the palate. Smooth and full, nice drying finish. Pretty straight forward, but still pretty solid. Thanks for sharing dude.

Handbottled 22oz from Ty5592 shared with my girlfriend Cyn after drinking Ironhill Barleywine. Pretty damn beautifal pour with a nice pop on the hand bottle so I know it was done right. Black with a big heaping tannish brown head. Nose is roasty, malty and pretty nice. Taste is sweet, bitter and full of dark toffee malts, almost burnt coffee as well. Not bad not amazing.

Bottle@Dr.Bills Poured dark brown with ring head. Molases aroma. Sweetness is a bit overpowering, but the hints of chocolate and bitterness rounded out nicely.

Dark black color with no head. Powerful aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and hops. Taste is complex and beautiful-roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and hops. A bit thin on the body, but can’t wait to have this again.
