Can. Pours opaque black with a small brown head that dissipates fairly quickly and laces well. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts. Flavor follows, medium sweet and light bitter, prominent chocolate, coconut and vanilla notes, along with some roastiness and ashtray as well. Lingering roasty bitter finish. Medium body, silky smooth mouthfeel. Quite nice!

Super dark brown coloured body with absolutely no head at all, just an oily brown top with a few bubbles on it. Aroma of super pungent roasted malt, licorice, alcohol, toffee, caramel, vanilla and a bit of oak - strong! Medium-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour with a lot of brown sugar and sweetness behind, with even more vanilla following, showing a rich, sweet flavour and a robust earthy and anisey spicey kick. Aftertaste is nice and potent with a large robust roasted malt flavour with bunches of vanilla and some sugars. Overall, a very nice stout with the majority of flavours leaning toward roasted malt, vanilla or caramelised sugars, but with enough complexity to enjoy throughout. I sampled this pint sized can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 22-January-2014 for US$2.99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-March-2014.

16oz can pours an inky black with some lacing, tan head. Looks bigger than it is. Smells a little bigger than it is too. Aroma is heavy with roasted grain, toast, the lactose is definitely there too, the vanilla is faint in the nose, molasses, cocoa nibs, light mocha. Flavor is nicely blended, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, malt are all working harmoniously, bread crust, a little soil. Full bodied, sweet, lightly creamy finish. For me, I think this could do without the lacto.

Enjoyed from can pour at Township in Chicago, IL prior to my band playing. I've been meaning to try this's, happy I finally did! Appearance is pitch black, light tan rim. Aroma mostly of chocolate malt with light vanilla and coffee notes, smells good. Taste is fantastic! It's going to be -10 here in a couple of days and this is the type of beer to drink for that weather. Rich in lactose and vanilla with huge chocolate notes. Definitely sweet, but great. Also, nice hazelnut notes, almost like Nutella. Happy to have had this!

Poured from a bottle it is a dark brown with a slight head. The srioma is of chocolate and the taste is of roasted coffee and chocolate. That lingers bitter on gge palate

Draft, Portsmouth Brewery’s guest tap. Dark black pour with thick tan foam that laced well. Nose is molasses and roasted barley. Texture of this stout is what I enjoyed the most, very creamy. Flavors of chocolate, bakers chocolate and notes of molasses. Secondary flavors of burnt sugar, vanilla and barley. Not too sweet; balanced just enough. I’m glad I waited for this on draft and didn’t buy a can. Really nice stout.

16 oz can purchased at Pinocchio’s Beer Garden in Media, Pennsylvania. The pour is black, deep brown, with a nice solid one inch dark tan head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, roast, burning toast and a bit of iodine. The taste is the roast, the lightly sweet iodine, and the lactose character which I had not noticed in the aroma. I got a bit of Kalamazoo Stout character to this, though not nearly as integrated. The palate is medium to heavy bodied, soft carbonation, and a sweetish roasty finish. I like my stouts a bit drier, though this one was nice - certainly the nicest of the three Finch’s beers I had.
