Common descriptors are
Oak Aged Foreign-style Stout. A strong stout from a recipe by Chris Vest, aka Krisbierjaeger, winner of the Osiris Snodown Homebrewing Competition, brewed specifically for the Pro-Am Category of the Great American Beer Festival.

Aromas of coffee, earthy hops, alcohol and a hint of smoke jump from the smooth blackness of this complex stout. For such a strong stout, the light body makes for a surprisingly quaffable brew.
