Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruggedly dark brown color close to black with an off white foamy head that gently dissipated and left some stringy lace all around.
The aroma had a nice blend between some caramel to toffee to coffee beans to a light cocoa beans. Some toast, roasty nuts and then some breadiness and molasses.
The flavor tries to blend all of the previously mentioned flavors together but ends up taking in some dark fruits and ultimately seems fairly good. Sweet oatiness is also there. Oats, bread, caramel and coffee beans blend in on the aftertaste and then running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation melds to the malts to lay down an exceptionally smooth and quaint silky feel along my tongue.
Overall, drinks like a porter, hard to believe it’s a stout, but hey, I think I could come back to this. Quite interesting.

Pours a dark brown from a bottle, a little clearer at the edge of the glass than most stouts I feel like. Burnt toffee and weakly brewed coffee notes in the nose and mouth. Big bubbles. Thin and watery. Not their best.
