Wow, what a surprise! Delicious deep brown body with a superb foamy and creamy beige-light brown lacing head. Fantastic aroma with vanilla, chocolate, herbal notes of hop, some dried plum. Delicios. Smooth mouthfeel with the chocolate again, fine vanilla, some sweet coffee, nuts and honey. Creamy palate. Balanced, fantastic and exciting one. Please more beers like this!!!

12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, North Carolina. Beer pours a nice dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with some cocoa and coffee notes. Taste is rocking, it matches up with the aroma and the finish is very clean. The alcohol is hidden very well in this beer. This was a pleasure to drink.

Pours a nice black with thin white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, slight coffee, and an ever so slight black liquorice. Flavor is very similar, but very smooth and easy to drink. Flavor also has hints of yeast and nuts. Overall very nice.

bottle - poured brown with medium tan head. Aroma - toasted malt, coffee and mild chocolate. Flavor - sweet chocolate syrup on tongue with coffee/caramel finish. Palate - light/medium mouthfeel, texture is somewhat creamy. Finish is bitter and lingers. Overall - nice stout, easy drinkin’ and way cheap!! $1.99 and 8% ABV. you can’t go wrong!!!

Dark cola pour with a frothy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweetness, and coffee. Tasty! Sweetness, chocolate, roasted malts, and a nice dry finish. Aftertaste of slight sweetness, and little bitterness. I have found a new tasty favorite. At 8 % ABV, you can’t really notice the alcohol. Some weekend I’ll have to get a 6-er to prove myself wrong.
