Draft at Richbrau. Dark brown to near balck pour on this. Small dense tan head. Soft roasty malts, light coffee, and some cocoa in the aroma. Taste is roasted malt, soft, sweet dark chocolate, cocoa and bitter coffee. Body is soft, creamy and smooth. Slight lingering bitterness. Ends with more roasted malts, cocoa and some cocoa. Rather tasty!

Poured a clear very dark brown with a medium sized creamy beige head. The aroma was of chocolate, ash, cola, and a moderate sweetness. The flavor was tart with notes of dry chocolate. The finish was bitter and watery.

Bottle shared by JoeMcPhee - dark brown, fizzy, cola-looking beer - aroma of vanilla and cocoa, with some odd notes of boiled vegetables underneath - thin and watery flavor, with some bitter coffee and cocoa notes, and some leafy tobacco character - dry and a little bit tart in the finish - reminds me of weak coffee in a lot of ways - thin, bland, uninteresting.

Bomber courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Deep brown beer, thick tan head. Aroma is a little bit cocoaish, lightly earthy and a bit toasty. Flavour is lightly roasty and earthy. A touch of cocoa and lingering toast. Decent stout.

Richmond Gathering. On tap at the brewpub. Deep, reddish brown with a dense tan head. Excellent lace. Sweet, light coffee and roasty malt nose, chocolate notes. Mild, bittersweet choco-coffee flavors, roasty. Cocoa finish. Soft, smooth body. A nice drinker!

Served on cask at the brewery. red color with a medium head. Pleasant nutty, chocolate aroma. Slightly bitter. Taste is veru much the same but with a more assertive hop bitterness in the finish.
