dark with a brown head, really roasty and silky mouthfeel. Warming. Delicious and stouty. Roasted malt flavor, cold aftertaste of grapes. Bottle at Abraxas Lounge, Miami Beach,

black, brown foam, bread, roasty, spruce, smoke, heavy cloying sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, full body, thick feel, soft carbonation, long finish. cranberries, heavy mocha, a touch of chocolate, lots of toasted oatmeal. Big hop finish at the end for a stout reminds of spruce and pine swirled in with the mocha. Too much mocha for me. A fine beer, though.

On tap at Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Pours black with a big tan head. Aroma is roasty malt and metal. Roasty and chocolatey flavor with a bit of metal and a dank coffee finish.

Pours a solid black that doesn’t thin out at all. Nose is of smokey buttered syrupy pancakes, molasses, and general goodness. Nice mouthfeel, Really sticks to the palate. Flavors are a touch tired. Coffee flavors tastes like old coffee that’s sat out for too long. Slightly astringent. Still its a fantastic beer.

On tap at Winking Lizard. Pitch black with an extremely creamy tan head. Truly a good looking beer. The aroma consists of roasty malts and chocolate. Those are the major flavors present here, with the addition of espresso that sticks to the palate with the malts. As others have said, it has a distinct sourness that is really quite pleasant in this beer. I really enjoyed this; it hit the spot on a cold, snowy day.

Bottle. Jet-black appearance with rich, tarry head. Slightly sour aroma of berries. Dry, earthy, alcoholy taste with a hint of sour sinks into your tongue quickly. Incredibly rich body, with a malty aftertaste of charcoal and wood. Don’t usually like even the slightest sour flavor, but this beer makes it work very well. Finishes clean.
