Bottle. Really dark color. Aroma is very roasty and coffee dominated. Taste is black chocolat,coffee and licorice.

bottle. This beer pours a dark dark brown almost black body. The aroma is extremely roasty - as is the taste. Pretty good for 8% as well. Nice stout.

Dark beer, light brown head. Thick but not heavy. Smooth and alcohol well-hidden. Caramel flavors and somewhat spicy. Not bad but a little watery.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2008 Bottle. Black color with a pale brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, molasses, dark fruit and some alcohol. The flavor is malty, roasted/slightly burned and sweet. Notes of coffee, dark fruit, molasses, cocoa/chocolate, a bit sourish, metall, and a hint of alcohol.

12oz Bottle: Dark brown, almost black, w/ a large creamy brown head. Roasty malt aroma w/ a hint of smoke & alcohol. Flavor starts w/ a little sweetness fading into roasted malt w/ some coffee & a bit of cocoa. Slightly bitter & dry finish. Alcohol is hidden well, but the palate comes up short, too thin. Smooth & quite good though.

Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière se présente avec une robe noire opaque et un énorme col de mousse brun. Au nez on découvre des arômes de caramel, de vanille, de café et de chocolat noir. En bouche la bière est ronde et crémeuse. Elle nous dévoiles des flaveurs de café, d’alcool, de vanille, de caramel au beurre et de chocolat noir. Excellent

Confirmed, the head is huge, brown, and adds creamy texture to the start of this beer. It fades after a bit. Aromas are sweet and fruity. Flavor is of red fruit like cherry, strawberry, and of slight roasted malt. Finish is sweet and malty. Decent well rounded stout. Bottle from The Glenwood.

Bottle had this a year ago from BOM but did not rate it. Found a bottle locally. great dark head on top of a deep black brew. aroma strong slightly alcohol taste but rich in flavor with hints of chocolate and coffee. glad I found it again.
