Sample from 500 ml. bottle. Pitch black with a fluffy, tanned head. Roasted aroma with chocolate, caramel, coffee and vanilla. Taste is lightly bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes roasted with chocolate, hops and coffee. Neat stout with a lower abv. - very nice.

Bottled. A black beer with a huge lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, roasted malt, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel, leading to a dry finish.

New Beer Distributors, NYC 50cl ($8.25): It is really inconvenient to make a yearly batch of beer and not place the date anywhere on it; however, since I have never seen this beer before or at that store I will assume it is this batch. The ABV listed on the bottle was 5.6%. Anyway, pours black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate and roasted malts... really nice full stout aroma. Taste is not at all sweet, but more like semi-bitter dark chocolate and medium-roasted coffee. Nice, easy drinking body. Good beer.

Draft at Dodson Street. Seems that this latest version is a bit stronger than in previous years. Extremely dark maroon color, beige head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of pure milk chocolate. Taste is Italian coffee soda. Decent.

From a 500ml bottle (batch 313, BB 7/2014, shared by Butz with thanks). ABV is listed as 6.5% not 4.9%. Pours a very dark brown with a smallish head. Has quite a strong aroma of dark chocolate with a touch of roasted malt. The flavour is lots of dark bitter sweet chocolate, a good dash of cocoa, and a medium roasty bitterness. Moderate carbonation and medium body. Very nice stuff.
