On tap at Lucky Labrador, Quimby St, Portland. This was down as 6.1%. Black with ruby edges. Sour damson and molasses aroma, softer in mouth. Great sour stout with real character. Lots of choc malt. Great character.

tap at the brewpub - Pours block with a one finger tan head. The aroma is of roast malt and licorice. The flavor has coffee and licorice notes and the finish is fairly dry. The body is thicker than Labrador’s Irish Stout, making this a robust beer, as a stout should be. Good beer.

Draught at the brewpub. Black, small head. Strong coffee aroma. Dryish with lots of coffee and licorice, soft mouthfeel. Packed with flavours derived from roasty malt. A good, robust stout.

Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided by Styles. Dark red-brown body, translucent, next to no head. Licorice and toast aroma. The body seemed excessively licoricey to me, with toast and little else. Little in the way of complexity or character.

Roasty, acidic aroma. Full toasty, roasty palate. Simple flavour profile, light bitterness. Maybe some chocolate notes.
