Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. L1210 so I reckon bottled on July 29th 2021.
Pours black but not pitch black, lovely head of tan foam good lacing.
Smells of roasted malt, light coffee, dark chocolate hint of toffee.
Full flavoured this is. Big roasted malt with some burnt notes, dark chocolate, light coffee, nice bitter aftertaste.
Incredible mouthfeel for a 4.5% abv brew!
I paid around $25 for the 500ml bottle..but it comes with a glass!
Way good to my palate.

The Aromas are toast, dark malt and molasses. Taste is somewhat Like nose, Bittersweet, heavy on the molasses and a little butterscotch. Body is a touch thin and carbonation a little aggressive. Bittersweet yet slay the astringent finish.

A colablack beer, a head is quite big and beige. Aroma has roastiness, coffee, salt, light chocolate. Taste has roastiness, light coffee and chocolate. Almost medium bodied. Typical low alc. stout, as stronger would be pretty great. But this is nice tasteful, anyway.

16.9 ounce bottle from Woodman's Onalaska, 7/18/21. Clear dark reddish brown, large frothy brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, tobacco, cherry. Taste is roast, chocolate, smoke, cherry-like fruits, anise. A bit thin. High carb. But very tasty. Nice stout.
