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.

Bonus bottle via trade with stoutlover72. Pours an inky black color with a small dark brown head that pretty much settles out. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar. Flavor is just about the same, coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar, bitter choclate. Palate is full bodied, oily, resinous, mildly carbonated. Very nice.

Bottle: Dark brown, near black pour with a smaller brown head. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma is mostly coffee with some chocolate tones and hints of roasted malts. Taste is a rich coffee with cocoa accents and some bittersweetness. There is another coffee/mocha kick right in the finish. Nice full bodied stout.

Poured a extremely deep, oily black with a huge creamy tan head. The moment it started to pour you could smell the roasted malts, but also hints of cherry and plum. Roasted, nutty flavor hints of vanilla and malt. Creamy on the palate.
