Black, small tan head. Sweet nose, notes of dark fruit. Sweet with fruity notes and vague coffee. Not a dry stout

Nice dry roasty finish. Wish I had some sushi.

Vacations start best with a good beer.

Roast and some dark chocolate. Easy drinking and decent enough, though lacks strong character. Bitter finish with a bit of lingering tang. Black pour with good head. Can.

330mL bottle, pours black with a large beige head. Nose is full of lactose-like sweetness, moderate roast, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is moderately sweet, with medium roast, gentle earthy cocoa, and lactose-like sweetness. Clean and balanced, though unexceptional. Solid stout.
