Pours black with a thick off white head. Aroma of roasted malt. Finishes dry and slightly bitter. Nice roasted malt, good mouthfeel.

Malt, roast, and a little chocolate in the aroma. Smooth, mild, malty flavor. Good choice if you’re planning to have a few.

Can. Dark brown pour. Thin head that looks like chocolate milk. Aroma and taste of light chocolate. Smooth body courtesy of the nitro widget. Easy to drink.

jet black colour with frothy tan coloured head. it is a creamy brew.aromas of roast and molasses. flavours of creamy richness, medium body and again some sweetness. decent easy drinking brew. I just wish it had more alcohol on it to make it more complex.

16oz can poured into a nonic. Appearance after the beer settles is pitch black with a 1.5 finger creamy tan head from the nitro. Smells is somewhat hard to pick up on but quite a bit of roastiness is present along with a bit of sourness. The flavor is roasted coffee and chocolate with some sourness coming in towards the finish. Finished fairly clean and dry with a light bitterness. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery but ok nonetheless. Overall this is a decent Irish Dry Stout. I would take it over a Guinness any day.
