Molasses, chocolate and malt nose. Pitch black body with thick, frothy brown head of two fingers. Complex flavors of dark chocolate, toffee, coffe and roasted barley malt. Aftertaste is bitter and leaves a smooth feeling in your mouth with the 8% alcohol well hidden. Great beer no doubt, but not my style.

Pours black with a brown head. Faint aroma of toasted grain, chocolate, and coffee overtones. Flavor is sweet, mild, fairly simple. Maybe its the ABV level, but thoughts of malt liquor popped in my head as I sampled this - the same generic sweetness and ethanol flavor. Don’t get me wrong - I like malt liquor and I like this as well, but there are much better, more flavorful, stouts out there.

Black pour with reddish background Dark tan thich head. Aroma of coffee, cardamon, molassas and alcohol. Peaty up front, coffee mid and chocolate finish with a metalic undertone. Decent smoothness. I deduct for the metal but add huge for the extreme value.

This was particularly different. I liked the smooth silky texture and the nice look of the beer with the big tan head and the deep color. The flavor is somewhat strange and the first things that come to mind are molasses and corn flakes, but as the bottle comes along it does have nice chocolate notes, and some espresso. Alltogether this was a little sweet for me, but I will certinally buy it again.

625ml - Aroma is milky with dark malts of chocolate and caramel. Pours black with a big brown head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma but is a little more roasty. Sweet caramel covered in chocolate. Palate is creamy and dry. Tasty stuff.
