Pours a deep brown, tan head. Bigger aroma, roasty yet fairly sweet. Flavor offered some roasted coffee bitterness along with some mild sweetness, a bit caramelly. A little lighter bodied but smooth. Enjoyable.

not the best stout in the world. good flavor but kind of bitter. good strong coffee flavor.

Dark opaque brown with a somewhat thin, light brown head. Chocolatey, creamy coffee taste, bitter finish. Little thin on mouth feel but good.

Bottle sample. Whenever I sample a new sweet/milk stout it’s difficult not to draw a comparison with one of my all-time favorites which is Mackeson’s. This offering really doesn’t come close. Pours opaque black with a quick disappearing tan head. Initial nose is of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Appropriately sweet taste, but a bit thin on the mouthfeel. Finished quickly with a wisp of bittersweet chocolate and dark roasted coffee beans. Not a bad sweet stout by any means, but somewhat undistinguished.

Pours a dark colaesque brwon color. Without the soda-like bubbles. Fluffy off-white head that disappeared, almost completely, quick. A bit creamy nose with some chocolate. I do like this stout. Sweet chocolate milky taste with some roasted malts in there and a very small hop bitterness in the finish. Very little carbination.

Black w/ soda-like brown head (it sizzled but dissipated very quickly). Sweet, roasty chocolate aroma. Soft, creamy, lightly carbonated feel. Roasty, slightly milky, chocolate flavour w/ a hint of nuts & an underlying mineral water quality. Finish is very wet & sweet.

Ruby brown in color with a tiny head that diminishes to nothing. Roasty, milk chocolate aroma. Roasted barley flavor with hints of cocoa and a milky sweet finish, not much bitterness. Quite drinkable.

Bottle - Pours a dark brown with medium tan head. Aroma was sweet with chocolate. Flavor and finish was sweet chocolate with a roasted coffee note. Finish was light.

Pours a mostly opaque dark brown with a small head that is quickly dissipating. Aroma is mild--some chocolate noted, but nothing special. Thin, sweet stout with lots of chocolate. Mild bitter ending. Nothing special at all.

Pours a dark brown, almost black, color with a very small head with very little lacing. Aroma is like cocco-pebbles in warm milk. Flavor is chocolate and a roasted bitterness. Some light sweetness on the back end of the taste. Finish is pleasantly crisp but notebly round. Not bad.
