Style: Foreign Stout

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

330ml bottle. Poured a dark, thick black color - tan head. Aroma was dark, roasted malts, notes of sugar, cocoa. Flavor was malty, roasted, touch of cocoa. This was quite an enjoyable beer to consume!

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2010 Pours black with a thick brown head. Great aroma of milk chocolate, hazelnut, cherry, and roast. Taste is much the same- Sweet chocolate, some coffee, slight alcohol and nut. Very smooth and creamy and has just enough bitter roast to balance the sweetness well, but is slightly sticky.

great stout! wonderful chocolately aroma, full of cream, coffee, nuts, vanilla, and oak....flavor of chocolate, coffee, and caramel...very roasted, and reminds me of a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout....nice palate, and a very good beer

toast, roasty, bread, black, brown foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, oily feel, soft carbonation, long finish,

Deep, dark indigo-toned color with a thick foamy tan head. Rummy nose with caramel, chocolate, sweet coffee, and dried fig notes. Nice blend of dark fruit and roast flavors. Has caramel and chocolate liqueur qualities. Medium-high sweetness with light plummy acidity and modest roasty bitterness. Nice sipping stout, full of character.

pours a deep brown with a tan head smooth, somewhat grainy mouthfeel. notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, and coffee. pretty good.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2005 Sweet malt aroma with a touch of chocolate and maybe some heavily creamed coffee. This was atramentous with little head, but decent lacing. Bitter roasted barley in the fore which melds into slightly less acid coffee flavors and finishes with a touch of nut and grape like sweetness reminiscent of the distinctive flavors of Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale. Thanks to Slob for this one!

Rich stout. Good taste overall. Lots of coffee, though not a heavy body. Lots of flavor. Surprise all around.
