What can you say about this award winning beer. Chocolate, coffee...pours thick and dark like espresso. One of my favorite beers. If you like Avery’s Yeti or Lagunitas Espresso Stout this one is for you. I wish I could buy this in cans or bottles!

Growler. Black pour. Aroma was rich milk chocolate mixed with a deep roasted malt character. Very nice. Flavors were heavily roasted with subtle nuances of cocoa and vanilla, lightly sweet. Finish was bittersweet, lingered nicely. Body was creamy and full, not too shabby!

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a black body with an inch thick, creamy, brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is thinner, oaty chocolates with a light roasty coffee. A bit smokey and leathery. Flavor is better, but still on the thinner side. Doesn’t drink like 10%. Some richer chocolates and smooth oatmeal with a solid roasty balance. Light mocha flavors with some leather and the roasts seem on the edge of hard, but not quite there. Finishes dry with a roasty bitterness and a lengthy aftertaste. Medium body and silky, but a bit thin at times with a light carbonation. Overall, a decent impy. Much better flavor than aroma and easy drinking for 10%, but a bit too thin IMO. Still, enjoyable and not bad.
