Not for the faint hearted! Our stout rewards the palate with robust flavor of roasted malts (malts are roasted like coffee beans) and heavy hops. A creamy smooth surprise.

12oz bottle - classic milk stout - not my favorite sytle, but it was pretty decent

Roasted coffee and dark chocolate with a nice touch of sweetness. Some hops underpin the classic stout elements and the moderate effervescence and richness make it a nice drinkable beer

Bottle. Dark brown in color. Medium head that quickly disappears. Aroma is coffee, burnt grains and citrusy hops. Taste had way too much hops for a stout.

650ml bottle from the lcbo. Light roast, sweet milk chocolate, and hint of coffee. A tad watery, soft carb. The finish is low on the bitter scale, some solid sweet cocoa flavors, and a touch of roast in the end.

This is a chewy, aromatic, absolutely black Stout. Excellent coffee, chocolate, roasty notes are blended nicely with hops. Recomended for the experienced Stout drinker/lover only.

From Mar 2007

Pours from 12oz bottle a very dark brown with a large tannish head of foam that shrinks to a solid layer with lacing.

The smell is light but I note roasted and sweet malt.
The taste on first sip has a lot of semi sweet malt to it with some roastiness and grain. Further sips in and there's a touch of citric bitterness midway through and through to the finish. It's a bit thin when it comes to the mouthfeel and the finish itself is on the watery side. Hmm.

Bottom line: This is an okay Stout but I've had many "regular" American Stouts that were much better.

Thanks to Wsatch for this sample!
