Dark, nearing night appearance with a big, full tan head. Aroma was prunes and plums with some molassas and roasted malt. Flavour was vinous with roasty malts and some cocoa. Medium-to-full bodied with light carbonation with a smooth, slightly bitter, long lasting finish. A solid international beer.

Excellent beer! Poured with a dark tan head and some lace. Opaque brown color. Aroma is roasty, malty, a bit sweet and hint of fruit. Flavor’s got lots more going on. Kind of reminds me of a cross between a baltic porter and a sweet stout. Has all the aroma characteristics plus much sweeter yet balanced with a bitterness, dark fruit, madiera, and even - cream. Mouth is fine carbonation and creamy, but with a lingering bitter sweetness. A little boozy. A session beer that’d get ya snockered. Impressive brew. Tamil tigers oughta get a few cases and take a break, Ok, cook with it then. sheesh.

Blackish pour with a tan head. Aroma has some heavy roast, cream, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has a nice roastiness to it with coffee, chocolate, elderberries, and some light cream. Pleasant mouthfeel but ultimately does not taste as good as my favorite stouts. Still very enjoyable!

A dark black pour to this one, small head, Alcohol is unoticable, and it drinks so easy! lots of chocolate, and roasted malts, some sweetness on the aftertaste. Very enjoyable. Glad to finally find this one in the Inland Empire!

What an outstanding stout. I’ve heard good things about this beer for a long time and I’m really glad that I got a chance to try it. It has a great aroma of coffee,and dark chocolate. It has a good light sweet taste and a great after taste. Sits very well in the mouth. Grab one now!!!
