On tap at Iron Hill Wilmington. Pours a deep black color with a half finger light tan head that dissapates quickly. Smell is huge dark chocolate and milk chocolate with a hint of vanilla. Taste starts with a sweet dark chocolate flavor, followed by some licorice notes and roasted malt. The finish brings in a chocolate syrup sweetness followed by a burnt roastiness. Full bodied, creamy texture. Finish is semi dry and intensely bitter, lingering on the palate for some time.

On tap at Iron Hill Wilmington. Dark brown with a tan head. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, coffee and caramel. Medium to full body, coating with a seltzery tingle. Taste is intense dark chocolate with a balancing raw bite, i would guess from the nibs. Vanilla is less prominent mingling with slightly bitter espresso, citrus peel and molasses. Delicious without being too sweet and desserty.

On cask at Lancaster. Dark brown, thin large bubbled tan ring. Heavy wood and ethanol, almost like plant stalk, light roast and chocolate but very muted. Flavor is more ethanol, biting chocolate syrup, bit of roast emerging in warm finish, light anise.

GABF 2010, came highly recommended from the brewer; great tip as this stout was very good. Very flavorful chocolate stout, notes of vanilla, even got a tad of peanut buter that im sure was in my imagination, dreaming of reeses i suppose. Anyhow, a very good & enjoyed stout

On draft at the Lancaster location. The pour was deep black, thin tan-brown colored head. The aroma was deep rich chocolate, some alcohol heat. The flavor followed, deep sweet chocolate syrup, some vanilla, sweet caramel, roasted notes with some hops underneath. Mouthfeel was oily slick.
