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.

Very dark brown body with a medium brown head. Roasty, fudgey nose with a stinging burnt overtone. Thick, slightly fudgey and milky body. Simple milk chocolate and fudge character. Easy-going quaffing stout but with more body that suits the role.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a fully diminished head. Dark roasted malt and with a solid chocolate malt aroma note. Flavour is roasted malt, slight coffee and chocolate malt note in addition. Nice roasted finish of malt and chocolate lasting into the far finish.
