really smooth probably the smotthest stout i have ever had. Nice roasred malt flavors with chocolate and coffee notes. some hops bitterness, and a good alcohol presence. Aroma was roasted and sweet.

very good stout, has a very nice flavor and it was very well balanced. i would recommend it to anyone.

Shared bottle from Ron. Thank Ron! Beautiful looking. Thick head, dark brown. Rich nose. Complex, chocolaty, a bit like a decadent dessert. Great pattern left as I sipped this. Palate of milk duds to start then turned wild, gave a kick, some hops, some alcohol, a bit less smooth at the end but that was okay by me. Great beer.

Black, thick, small head. Aroma of malt, roasted wood Flavors of wine and fruits; plums, tastes barrel aged. Heavy palate. Impressive

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.

This bottled brew poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized long lasting dark brown colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was a black as midnight opaque dark black color with no hop of seeing any carbonation on it. The aroma was a pleasant dark malt dough one. The mouth feel was initially tingly and finished with a malty hop bite that smoothened a short time later. The flavor was full of dark malts mild coffee molasses and hops.

Another style I haven't tried yet. Wow- sweet aroma- strong licorice, smoke, and soy notes hit my surprised nostrils upon opening this bottle. Otherwise pours like any other stout, with a very dark brown body and thin light tan head. Flavor is interesting and reminds me strongly of A. le Coq Imperial Stout with its dry, salty character. Lots of wood and soy, a touch of licorice and dry chocolate. I taste a touch of dry fruit underneath the salt, and perhaps some nuttiness too. Very complex. The body is oily and finishes with a dusty, slightly bitter aftertaste. I have to agree with consensus here- this is a fine beer.

Jet black with a thin tan head. A sweet chocolate coffee aroma. A malty, creamy flavor that finishes strong. An excellent beer. Masks the alcohol well. Very tasty and will have again.
