This beer pours with a thick off-white head that slowly disappears as you drink it. The aroma is of roasted grains with hints of chocolate. The first thing I notice upon tasting is what seems to be high carbonation.....not really to my liking especially in a stout. The flavor is good...tastes like roasted grains and coffee, but is not very bitter with the added lactose giving sweetness to the end of the flavor. This has a heavy body and seems very filling. I’d drink another one or two......

Aug 8, 2008 Wow, there was a lot of flavor going on here! It had a nice creaminess after tasting that thick stout flavor. It was not pure like a regular stout because it has that lactose included. It had a nice dark color like black coffee, but a bit of thickness to it.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear, deep brown with a dusting and a ring of deep tan head sticking around. The aroma picked up a great blend of sweeter milk chocolates with toasty caramel.. sweet and enticing. The flavor was several steps downhill and seemingly past its prime.. sour lactose all over the place with milk chocolate, carmamel, and some nutty notes.. finished sour with drier semi-sweet chocolate. Medium-bodied and too sour on the palate.. drier.. didn’t hold up very well (and it’s not too old).

does not count  Aug 5, 2008 If you enjoy the full flavor of the Guinness Then you must try this out. It is very close to a Guinness without the bite that is has in the end.

Aug 2, 2008 (USA) Pours black with a sm white head. The aroma is of chololate and burnt malts. There is a roasted / smoky malt taste with some chocolate, and coffee notes. The mouthfeel is creamy, but finishes with a slightly dry palate. This is a very pleasant stout from my home turf, good old amish country !!!! lol

Jul 17, 2008 Beautiful deep dark dark bown, one shade shy of plack, with a nice light brown thick head that lasts. Aroma is nice, and about what you expect. Roasted nutty and carbon. Feels lighter than it looks, I waned more density to it, but not too thin. Starts with slightly sweet sweet chocolate, with a dark coffee bitterness. Malt and hops are ncely balanced a little towards the malty side. Biterness is there, but not too much bite. FInishes clean. Definitely something that I would buy again.
