Commercial Description:
This stout is sheer beer poetry. Let it warm to about 45 F and pour it into a glass to fully experience its rich, roasty flavors and hints of coffee and chocolate. One glass and you'll agree: The Poet is truly a rich, creamy brew of epic proportions.

Bottle. Very dark red, nearly black. Small head sits there for the entire beer. Smells of creamy coffee. Nice roasty flavor with chocolate, sugar, and some mild hops. Real nice, simple, session stout. I wouldn’t mind keeping this one around all the time.

Bottle pours dark with a thin brown head. Sweet aroma of chocolate and malt. Flavor is of sweet roasted malts, light coffee, and chocolate. Creamy body with good depth of flavor.

Pours black, not much head. Roasted coffee slight chocolate. Not really a lot going on. Slight bitter finish. Overall not bad, but not great. I have a feeling this could be better on draft.

Smuggled back from Greensboro on my last trip. Bittersweet chocolate and cocoa aromas. Roasted malt flavors are really nice. Some chocolate again and a faint bitter finish. Not quite and opaque black pour. Well rounded and complete stout.

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is full of chocolate and caramel notes, maybe a bit of coffee. Taste is full and flavorful, finish is bitter but sweet in spots. Yummy.
