Mildly roasty, very sweet. Smooth body, palate is nice, but not overly thick. Flavor is pretty mono-dimensional though, not a whole lot going on. Defintely taste the lactose added in. Biggest problem is the sugar tends to dry out your mouth and make phlegm.

caramel, coffee, chocolate, tan foam, dark chocolate color, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, soft carbonation, creamy, Nice pour, head quickly disappears. Excellent aroma, combined with good aftertaste increases value of beer. Generally a good beer with nice bitter sweet mocha flavor.

Like an alcoholic Mocha. It’s smooth, chocolaty, bitter like a good stout should be. Illegal to sell in Alabama, but completely worth that trip to Columbus.

Drank it out of the bottle. Very sweet and mellow with notes of chocolate and coffee. Pleasant, smooth finish with a sweet aftertaste. My favorite stout by far.
