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.

Black beer with a very small head. Aroma of sweet chocolate. Flavor is excellent with strong notes of chocolate, dark roasted malts, coffee, and a bit of smoke. A good bitterness at the finish. Very good stout. $8.99 for a six at Total Wine.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a jet black with virtually no head. Nice roasted aroma with a touch of chocolate. Smooth drinking and nice to the taste. Rather impressive for a stout. Three for three from Mad River.

12oz Bottle Pours out a nive black topped with a tan head. Great aroma of sweet chocolate and nice roast. Sweet tast, but not as thick as I wanted it to be. Not to bad.

Pours deep dark amber-mahogany with a couple of photons of light making the journey at the edges creating a deep red glow. The tan head dissipated quickly. The aroma comes off as rich roasted malts, malt sweetness and what seems like a hint of smoke. The taste starts out with roasted, burnt and chocolate malts. There’s also a malt sweetness that approaches a caramel character. Near the finish a faint coffee note surfaces and then gets over-run by more burnt malts. Tasty brew.

12 oz bottle thanks to fordest. Very small tan head. Very dark. Smells of roasted chocolate and coffee. Very little afterburn. But very good.

12 oz. bottle. Very dark black oily appearance. Smallish dark tan head. Lots of roasty aromas. Some chocolate and coffee flavors, but mostly more roasted malts. Pretty good stout.

Bottle. Pitch black color. Coffee, roasted nut aroma; somewhat wooden, fire-worn finish. Hints of fruit in flavor. OK - expecting worse for some reason.
