Brewed for winter;cold winds, warm fires and snow (lots of snow). Dark, roasty, smooth and delicious. Like our winters, this seasonal brew won’t stick around forever. So bundle up, grab a six pack and turn your winter into a playground.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Milk chocolate aromas with malt and coffee notes as it warms. Smooth and silky texture on the palate. Nice chocolate notes throughout. Not acrid or bitter at all. Nice body, very enjoyable and well-made stout.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, graininess, molasses, a bit of pitted fruits and a heavy note of vanilla and icing sugar here. Medium-bodied; Relatively rich malts and oats show at first with a big molasses and pitted fruit set of flavours with some light alcohol towards the end and a strong vanilla finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of earthy, graininess from the malts with a big roastiness, almost a burnt note with some coffee at the end as well, but a lot of rich, robust notes dominate here and don't provide much sweet balance, especially at the end. Overall, a nice rich and very roasty, earthy and grainy beer with a lot of earthiness and some rustic quality, but there is a dose of sweetness from vanilla and cream to temper the flavours somewhat. Overall, a nice deeper stout with a lot of rich notes, especially from the oats, malt and earthiness, but also from some molasses and pitted fruits. Nice to sample, especially in the colder months, even far removed from the really cold areas of the UP of Michigan! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Merchant's in Dearborn, Michigan on 10-December-2018 for US$2,79 sampled at my house here in Washington in February 2019.

12 oz. can thanks to willrunforbeer. Black in color, thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, weak chocolate hints, lactose sugar, ash.
Bitter coffee bean, molasses sweetness with notes of ash. Body is slightly fuller then medium with a mild creamy texture. Don’t know the age of the can but.... Nicely drinkable.

12 ounce can into pint glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy dark tan head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, molasses, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, herbal, and roasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, molasses, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, herbal, and roasted earthiness. Fair amount of herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, molasses, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, and herbal/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, and lightly slick/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent American stout style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
