Blind tasting @ home. Deep brown / black appearance with a creamy brown head. Softly roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and oatmeal in the aroma with some dark fruit tones. Somewhat creamy mouth feel. Slight acidity. Moderate plus bitterness. Mild sweetness. Earthy / coffee flavor. Smooth finish. Pretty good.

Opaque Black Color, Big Beige Foamy Head, Lots Of Lacing. Toasted, Faint Chocolate Aroma. Toasted Malt, Moderate Chocolate, Vanilla. Not Too Sweet Not Too Bitter. Surprisingly Thinner Than Most Stouts. Hides High ABV Well. Easily Drinkable. Enjoyed It. Worth A Try...

12 oz. can from build-a-six at Binny’s. Hey, nice smell right out of the can, hearty roast grains without the usual burn or astringency. Rich chocolate notes. Pours a solid black body, head is foamy since it’s still canned with CO2, but hey. Taste does offer creamy texture of an oatmeal stout. More dry than sweet. Some coffee bitterness once I get more tasted. Very slight citrus edge, perhaps some PNW hops in there. I note that the can currently reads 6% abv.

12oz can. Opaque brown black with a rusty beige head. Sweet, luscious chocolate tones in the aroma. Kind of an odd, watery mouthfeel. Chalky coffee finish. Seems like it would go over well on nitro. The soapy cocoa bitterness is not entirely pleasant, probably could benefit from a change in the hops/hopping. Dry, not so memorable, but still drinkable.

My can is black with a name of Wild Onion Brewing Jack Stout. Also, it says 6% not 6.5% so I’m not sure if this is the right place for my rating. Anyway, out of the can its pour is quite interesting. Black, with a thin tan head that fades rapidly. Smell is that of some sterile impy stouts I’ve had so it is a little alarming. However, the first taste sooths all those alrms, certainly this is a smooth black stout that comes across rather creamy and friendly. Barely any co2 but for what it does have, its enjoyable and not quite flat. Taste is smooth and easy and it almost has a tart background which makes it very interesting. Very little bitterness in this brew. Yes, rather enjoyable overall expereince, I would certainly buy this again. Paid $3 for this at the house of 1000 beers. Good example of a dark beer. I should have bought a six pack of this.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice roast and coffe with some chocolate. Flavor is again some roasted malt with a strange meatyness. Finish is watery but leaves a nice smokyness on the tounge. Its different, I’ll give it that.
