Bottle. Thin dark black pour, little carbonation an aroma of dark chocolate and a little coffee. Flavor is nice rich roasted dark malts, hints of black cherry syrup, coffee and clove. Pretty nice at $6/bomber.

Bomber - pours black with an inch high tan head. Had a coffee taste at first but once it warmed up it was more of the chocolate persuasion. Creamy mouthfeel and very good.

Bottle. Super dark pour with a light brown head. Nice full palate but not dense or heavy. Roasted coffee, licorice, tobacco, and a touch of bitter chocolate. Very nice brew - a winner.

From a bomber. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, coffee, and a slight piney scent. Flavor is chocolate up front, caramel, coffee, and a slight bit of bittering hops. Really smooth for 8.5 abv.

22 oz. bottle I’ve had for a couple years, so I can’t remember who sent it to me. Thanks! Split with my lovely wife a few evenings ago. Pours a very deep, mostly opaque brown with a finger of tan head that lasts. Aroma of rich, roasted malts, dark chocolate, and some coffee. Flavor is really the same. Not a whole lot to it, but the roasty character is very solid. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a roasty mouthfeel. At 8.5%, I was surprised to see this called a stout and not an imperial stout, but honestly, it drinks below its abv and more like a simple stout.

Bottle:   Black, huge frothy light beige head, nice lacing.   Rich roasty nose, also hoppy.   Slight alcohol.   Soft roastiness, not as hoppy as the nose suggested.   Moreso a malty example, yet lacks a big body.   Clean finish, lingering roasted malts, light hops.   For a stout its fairly robust and flavorful, but its not all that big in body.   Moderate mouthfeel.   Little bit of dark chocolate comes through at the finish.   Bakers Chocolate perhaps.   Slightly dry.   Very respectable and solid for a straight up Stout.   Very strong roastiness lingers.

Solid stout. Not overpowering. Thin head with the right carbonation. All the chocolate, coffee notes one would expect.

Wow, this is great. Dry and smooth.

Deep, dark color with a significant brownish tan head. Roasty malt, cocoa, and coffee. Full, smooth body with a nice long finish. A very good stout.

22 ounce shared bottle. Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, and coffee. Taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee. Nice Porter!
