Commercial Description:
A black opaque ale with rich creamy roasted malt character and a very mild hop complement. This beer may look a little scary but take a sip and you'll see why this Extra Stout can convert even lite beer drinkers to Stout lovers. A unique flavor profile that starts with a slight coffee flavor and finishes with a hint of roasty chocolate. Try a pint with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream. This beer is a favorite as a compliment to any dessert or as a hearty breakfast drink.

Not bad at all. Very much like a guiness extra stout. Would drink again but not one of my favorites.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate, dense chocolate brown head that quickly disappeared and left a very thin film on the glass with each sip. Pleasant aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is very similar to the aroma, but the aftertaste has a wet cardboard flavor that I am not fond of. Light to moderate bitterness at the finish. Probably not something I’d go back to.

Bottle: Poured a dark black brown with a tan thin head. The aroma is sweet and coffee bean. The taste is coffee with some bitter twang to it.

~Pours a soda like colour with small brown head. ~ Aroma is strong in coffee and sweet roasted malts ~ Taste is choclatey and coffee bitter ~ Palate feels dry and light, but also coats mouth. ~ This is a delicious beer. Definetly have to try again with some vanilla ice cream.

Pours black with a large beige head. Sweet with some bitterness. Malty aromas of roasted coffee and roasted malts - also a hint og caramel. Light citric hops aromas. Also aromas of sweet dates. Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Dry finish. OK

Bottle. Pour is like cola... fizzy and dark. Head sits around three or four fingers at first and hisses at me while I type. Aromas are thick of roasty malt, dark chocolate and charcoal/peat. First sip reveals a fairly nice blend of coffee and chocolate malts with a bit of a smokey aftertaste... all the while, it is a bit thin on the palate, especially at first. It could be that there is not the push from a higher ABV to warm things along or the malt presence is a little thin, but it seems just a tick away from perfection. Very nice, in spite of it all.

I really enjoyed this stout. Not a big aroma but a beautiful black color with a large fluffy brown head after a hard pour. Nice malty sweetness with a smoke taste in the background. Ends with a bit of hops.

Bottle from Beer Club: Poured a deep dark brown, almost black with not much head. The aroma was roasted malts, some caramel. The flavor was rich and smooth, espresso and dark chocolate. Overall, a really good Stout.
