Dark maroon with thin white head. Aroma of roasted malt and alcohol. Caramel and malt flavor with some hops. Good stuff, although maybe a bit lighter than it ought to be.

From bottle... poured semi-transparent, dark brown with medium head. Very nice malty aroma with hints of chocolate and molasses. Lighter taste with some chocolate. The overall experience was very positive... nice, enjoyable, relaxing beer. Must get again.

Pours a creamy, black body with some deep red coming through. The aroma is mild cigar and bakers chocolate. I’m getting mostly roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and tobacco in the flavor with some very subtle sour notes in the finish that are quickly covered up by a confectioners sugar taste. A unique and tasty stout.
