Pour is a complete black with a super large tan head. Aroma is a big time char malt with plenty of chocolate roasted malt. Flavor is more roasted malt and chocolate with a syrupy mouth feel. If they made a bakers chocolate syrup it would be just like this beer. A little bitter and almost no sweetness. This is very rich and flavorful with the alcohol making just a bit of appearance.

On tap at First Draft. Pitch black, with a medium, beige, creamy head. The aroma is burnt toast, sorghum, rye, molasses, and spruce. Sweet and roasted, with a sharp, almost unpleasant bitterness. Heavy body, very sticky, sharp, chewy, and thick. This is overly roasted for my tastes, and it comes off as dank or off. Still, a solid stout.

Somehow I have not rated the regular version. Bomber at ABV. Pours a pitch black color with a medium beige head. Big coffee and roast aromas. Rich but very smooth, sweet coffee, some vanilla, nutty, solid dark roasted malts, anise. Good.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Dark and oily with fluffy beige head. Dark roast grains, ad expected, for the aroma. Taste is where this picks up the pace. Elements of vanilla, oak, peat and molasses. Slick mouth feel, nice bite at finish
