Dark brown black. Large frothy brown head, some lasting. Malty, roasty, chocolate, slightly burnt aroma. Light side of medium body, somewhat thin, roasty, sweet. Short to medium finish. Very drinkable, especially for the ABV. It does have a little something about it.

I enjoyed this beer. I am generally not a big fan of the higher percent vol. alcohol stouts. But this one i enjoyed, was not over powering lots of taste, very good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark brown with a nice dark khaki head and good lacing. Chocolate aroma and a hint of umami. Taste of dark chocolate roasted malt with a hint of black licorice. Finishes with a light bitterness. Mouthfeel is bubbly and moderate with medium body and medium/high carbonation. Solid stout that is well crafted.
