Bottle pours a dark brown almost black with a substantial foamy brown head. Nice lacing on the glass. Mild smokey aroma is mostly roasted malt, some coffee. Flavor is mild, roasted malts, more smokiness with just a touch of bitterness in the finish. More carbonation than I was expecting. Decent stout.

Again dry stouts are just not for me...and this one is not even a good representation of the style. Very "plain Jane" aroma and flavor. As expected you get some choc notes but this one just is way to dry and bitter. And the mouthfeel is very water.

A lighter stout and one of my semi-local favorites. Use glass everytime no exceptions. Its a great beer.

Pours black with a big tan head that dissipates very quickly leaving no lacing. Smell is big on roasted malts and not much else. The taste is pretty much the same and one-dimensional with roasted malts. Mouthfeel is a little thin for me but OK. This is actually a very drinkable dry stout but there’s not a lot going on with it.

Surprisingly decently drinking stout . Pours black with malt in aroma. Balanced, and not as dry, and decent balance of roast and malt and a bit of chocolate, all at sessionable ABV. Bottle..finished before lunch begins.

Dark black beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is quite roasty and cocoaish. Fresh roasty maltiness with a light espresso finish. Fresh cocoa and light roast over a lean maltiness. Simple tasty dry stout.
