Velvety black and perfectly opaque, this surprisingly smooth, drinkable beer is a delightful harmony of smoky roasted flavors and tangy, coffee-like notes. Available only on tap at fine establishments throughout our distribution region.

2004 bottle from heemer77. Ahhh, nothing like a good dry stout. A nice bottled condtioned version, no nitro, no watered down roast, no fake layered pour. Anyways, it smells pleasantly roasty and fruity, with chocolate, mint and licorice. Some very faint and dry yeast notes as well. Very even, smooth and dry on the palate, but importantly, not a watery mess. Chocolate lingers lightly in the background and does not seem forced. Would probably drink this stuff daily if I could. Nothing pretentious about this beer.

Pour is a dark black with a small creamy head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavor is smoky and malty. Maybe a wee bit thin but very drinkable.

Bottle Pours a very dark jet black with a small tan head. Nice even lacing. Aromas are a vary yummy sweet chocolatey smokey flavor but no bitterness. Flavors are less sweet more dry and smokey. Little hops but plenty of burnt malt and smokey goodness. A bit astringent and thin. Nice and drinkable. Thanks to HarfteeDark for sharing.

This dry stout does pretty much everything it’s supposed to. Charcoal brown body with a thin tan head yields a dry roasted malt aroma. Flavor is classic dry roast (acidic and woody) with chocolate and a tangy bite. Solid.

Acquired via trade. Pours a slightly translucent dark brown color with a medium thin beige head that disappeared pretty quickly. Very little lacing. The aroma is lightly roasty with coffee and a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied and sort of watery at times. Coffee and hops in the flavor but not with much authority. The finish is dry and roasty. Overall this Stout is a bit of a letdown.

Draught. A fairly nice dry stout, comparable to Beamish. Very dark opaque near-black, served with thin white head, but with good retention. Aroma was lightly roasty with only a hint of chocolate and nuts. Flavor was again mildly roasty, possibly a bitter chocolate finish. Light creamy mouthfeel from the nitro. Update for bottle tasting: I want to lower the numbers significantly (to 2.9) but I'm holding off. This bottled sample may have been off. It featured a pretty significant tang in the finish, which could have been an attempt to replicate the Guinness tang, or it just might have been accidental contamination. My notes: Thin fading head over a near opaque garnet, tinged brown. Caramelly chocolate aroma, hint of roast. Full caramel and ashy flavor, dry roasted finish. Tangy finish, lingering tang on the sides of the tongue.
