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.

Bottle. Black pour with a tan head. Malty roasted chocalate nose. The taste is close to the same with a bit of tartness. Smooth, tasty.

Very dark with nice tan head. Taste strong of coffee and chocolate. Very smooth. A good beer to drink slowly, despite it’s taste making you want to down it..

Pours an inky black with a two finger creamy mocha tan head. The nose was a bit roasty, chocolaty, some coffee, sweet, light tobacco, rich. The flavor was choclaty, some bitter coffee, light alcohol, sweet, moderate bitterness. Very full and smooth mouthfeel. Very very tasty stout.

Deep brown pour with a thick foamy tan head that lasts. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, molasses and licorice. Nice flavor as well, definate chocolate malts and coffee, with some dark fruit I didn’t pick up in the aroma. A very good 2 buck brew!

Nice dark brown/black pour wtih a simple brown head. Aroma is heavy on chocolate, coffee and booze wtih a hit of pure cane syrup. Flavor is very good, chocolate, roastiness, coffee and the beer is very creamy on the tongue. Well done.

Pours syrupy thick dark chocolate with a brown head. Aroma is rich of semisweet chocolate, bourbon, coffee, and molasses. Quite enticing! Palate is creamy smooth, softly carbonated, and mouth-coating. Reminded me of Brooklyn’s Black Chocolate Impy Stout. Flavor of brown sugar, coffee, chalky ash, and malt. Starts fairly sweet, ends with some slowly revealed bitter flavors. A down side: for me the prickly carbonation disrupted the pristine creaminess of the beer. Overall, I really enjoyed this one, and found its attributes to be fairly unique.

Pours black/brown., tan head. Grains/oats in the nose. Pretty smooth going down, mocha, coffee, chocolate. Pretty clean finish. Could have more hops, maybe more like a milk stout. Not bad at all.
