Bottle. Really love the labels on these beers. Very similar to the Porter. Deep brown in color, small tan head. Aroma is more coffee than chocolate, some burnt toast. Taste is also more coffee than chocolate.

Not good by any means, with a strange metallic/spoiled milk backbone that smashes away any chocolate and roasted malt good will. Not that bad at first, with a perky, almost enjoyable chocolate front and modest mocha leanings, but the back end picks up a saccharine bittersweet note coupled with a sharp, tangy off taste, fruity and clingy and altogether unpleasant. Pours a dark brown that doesn't even attempt to look like a stout, but the tan head's nice and clingy and it gives up tons of lacing. Nose offers chocolate, but also hints at the sour milk undertone. Creamy, medium-bodied texture is actually quite nice, but ranks as the only real positive here. Not horrible, but not very drinkable, either.

Almost black pour with a tan head. Garnet at the edges under strong light. The aroma is nutty, dusty earth. Burnt coffee. The flavor is lightly sweet, some nuttiness. mocha. No hop bitterness or flavor. Smooth, creamy. Other than that there are a lot of better stouts readily available.

Pours nearly clear, but dark, brown with ruby backlights...short, paper-tan head. Aroma is slight.....chocolate and cream. Flavour is milk chocolate, sweet coffee bean. Very light...taste is decent, but quite weak.....if it had some oomph behind it , this would be a great dessert beer.
