Courtesy of Tampa Tasting Group. Pours a dark brown to black with thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and milky with notes of roasted malt, smoke, hints of raisins and dark fruit. Flavor is roasted malt, cream, some, dark chocolate, coffee, hints of toffee. Medium to full body with a sweet and bitter coffee finish.

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.

Dark amber color with a thick brown head. Very smooth malty taste with hints of chocolate and coffee. Roasted chocolate aroma, slightly sweet and very drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of Cigar City. Pours dark brown with a khaki head. Aroma is earth, dark chocolate, and alcohol. Flavor is similar with chocolate malt, balancing hops, and dark chocolate. Nice.

Pours black with a large light brown head- excellent lacing. Aroma of molasses, spruce and sliglty burnt malt. Sweet brown sugar, spruce, resin, licorice with coffee, plum and alcohol trailing. Hints of Black Cavandish pipe tobacco and soy sauce. Creamy/oily texture and long finish.

Bottle. Black colour with large creamy light brown fully lasting head. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of coffee. Sweet flavor with notes of coffee and chocolate.

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.
