12 oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with a two finger tan head. The aroma was chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor was roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. The body was a little on the thin side, but overall this was a very serviceable beer.

Bottle. Pours black with a medium beige head. Smells is of dark chocolate, bitter coffee malts. Taste is pretty deep and complex, roasted malts, chocolate, and nice sweetness. Full body, nice palate of coffee and chocolate. Nice stout, easy to find too.

12 oz bottle. Had it before, finally got around to rating it. Pours a dark black with a half finger high tan head that slightly dissipates. Smells of chocolate, bits of roasted coffee. Tastes of roasted chocolate, with hints of what I think is espresso (not coffee). Goes down pretty smooth and has a good taste in your mouth afterwards. My favorite inexpensive stout.

njbfr (110) - New Jersey, USA - FEB 15, 2009
UPDATED: MAR 25, 2009 Pours with a huge tan head giving off a nice chocolaty aroma. Opaque black. Extremely malty with almost no bitterness whatsoever which is quite surprising. Finishes with a pretty long slight chocolate sweetness. Almost too sweet and not roasted enough to balance it out. Slightly oily on the palate. Pretty sweet lacing.

A slight chocolate flavor with a smooth taste and a good appearance. Not to sweet and no bitterness.Very rich color. A fair head of foam. But you have to like seeing setiment in the bottom of your glass.

Poured from 330ml bottle into pint glass. Aroma - Malt with a bit of milky chocolate Appearance - Opaque black in color with thick,foamy, tan head. Nice lacing on the glass. .Flavor - Dark roasted malt,with a bit of chocolate and coffee. Not much in the way of hops. Palate - Slick, very little carbonation. Overall - Very tasty. 8% ABV. A bit pricey though $10.49\6 pack. There are better stouts for the money.
