Nose of coffee and chocolate; body shows opaque black with a thick, nicely lacing tan head head; flavor is hoppy with coffee, smoky, and chocolate notes.

Thanks to Darkover for the trade. This brew pours nearly black with a thick light brown head that dissipates pretty quickly. Very little lacing. The aroma is rather roasty with a little hops. The body on this Stout is not very rich, but it was one of the smoothest, easiest to drink Stouts I have encountered. I was through the glass in no time. Possibly because it is a little on the carbonated side. Flavors of roasted malt, coffee and hops, but none too abundant. The finish is lightly bitter hops. Overall this isn’t the most flavorful Stout you can find but it scores big points in the drinkability category.

This is a pretty lame stout. Poured dark red-brown with a creamy tan head. Toasty roasted malt aroma led to dry roasted malt flavor that remained on the tongue about as long as a pizza lasts on Rosie O'Donnell's table. Oh, and there were hints of hops too. Thin-bodied and weak.

Very black. Light to medium bodied. Reasonably dry for the type and very roasty.
