As close to perfection as I have had. Perfect black color, ultra smooth body (nitro is my fav). Goes down like chocolate milk.

12oz bottle, pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head that faded quickly but left decent lacing. Smells of roasted malt, milk, sugar and light hops. Tastes of all the same things in the smell. Mouthfeel is smooth, silky and creamy withe grey carbonation. I don’t know what took me so long to try this amazing stout but I’m glad I did. I’ll definitely be drinking this more often.

Pours dark almost opaque brown with fine tan head. Smell is roasted and a bit of trees, though fairly light overall. Palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied and slightly lacking in carbonation. Taste is sweet milk, then a bit of a roasted bitterness. A bit too sweet overall for my tastes.

Láhev 355 ml. Po nalití je cítit příjemné aroma mléčné čokolády s podtóny jemné kávy. Pěna je zlatohnědá, nízká a rychle mizící, barva samotného piva je temná jen lehce propouštějící světlo které ukáže opravdovou tmavě rudou barvu. Chuťově je pivo velice dobré, připomíná sladší, mléčnou čokoládu kombinovanou s kávou s lehce kyselým okrajem. Pivo je velice jemně hořké, nepříliš rázné ale dobře pitelné.

Pours a clear looking black, red when held up to the light. Thought this one was going to be flat, but eventually a pretty good sized head rose from the ashes. Aromas of tobacco spit, coffee grinds, burnt twigs. Taste is chocolate bar, powdered cocoa, some light roast and a hint of marshmallow. Finishes pretty sweet with just a hint of ass drippings. Not bad.

Nitro tap. Big, black body erupts with creamy tan, nitro-infused head. Plentiful lace stubbornly remains on my glass. A bit roasty with caramel accents in the aroma; wish it were more concentrated.

Mmm, roasted malts. Milk chocolate and lactose solids. Hoppy in the middle, dark malts take over before finishing dry with a touch of hop bitterness. Tasty.

I find this refreshing as hell. I'll choose a pint of this on a hot summer day over a light lager every time.

12oz bottle in MA labled as ’nitro’ for some reason. Decent dark stout, mild sweetness and good dry coffee bitter. Good stout, strong and dry.

Pours a dark black some brown and very little room for highlights. Dense foam climbs up my glass even after 3 or 4 sips. Aromas of coffee, cane sugar and cocoa waft up from the glass. Drinks smooth and bitterness is decent from both hops and roasted malt. Well balanced and not overly bitter or big in alcohol. Clean finish.

Had at Cincy airport. Unfortunately, poured into an ice cold hefeweizen glass which was only one bar had. Still, this was excellent. Dark brown pour, little head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Comes through on the taste, too. Coffee, roasted malt and some mild sweetness. Very drinkable and excellent milk stout. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle @ 2nd tuesday tasting, nitro version. Pours dark brown to black with a small off-white head. Aroma is heavy coffee, roasted malts and milk chocolat. Taste is quite sweet, coffee, roasted malts and a soft bitterness. Very smooth creamy texture. Nice stout.
