Pours dark brown almost black with a thick tan head. Smells of sweet malt, roasted malt, coffee and toffee. A lot of sweet in the nose but some faint hops to balance it. Flavor is sweet and toasty upfront with a slight bitter and smokey finish. There are notes of toffee and coffee as well.

Maltly chocolate aromas with a subtle smoky complexity. Black with a syrupy tan head. Bittersweet with roast notes and dark chocolate notes and a hint of umami. Full bodied and rich with a slight oily presence and a bittersweet finish.

No lacing with a one inch head. Heavy roasted/toast taste and smell. And maybe a slight taste of butterscotch.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very dark brown, tan dissipating head. Aroma of bready malt with lots of cocoa, light roast, some cola. Flavor of bready malt with a little toffee sweetness, chocolate, light roast, a little raisin, a roasty/grainy finish dries it out. Medium-full bodied and easy-drinking.

12oz bottle, from Party Source. Best before June 2013. Black color. Light brown head, leaves good lace. Smooth, lighter carbonation, kind of a creamy texture. More dry in the finish. Medium body, decent chewiness. Chocolate, cream, light roasted malt. Good lighter bitter taste, little sweet. Solid sweet stout. Nice balance. Not too sweet, still a satisfying amount of roast and bitterness.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2013 My first Sam Adams offering. Pour from bottle. Lovely dark brown with thin tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, coffee, soy. I taste sweet and salt...umami? Thin creamy texture, soft carbonation. Slightly off-putting finish..soy/smoke? A bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Smak och doft av malt, humle, kaffe, choklad. Rostade toner, rund och krämig med fin beska. Gott.
