Half pour at the source Dark black in color with a huge frothy tan head that persists. Rich roasty caramel chocolate and brown sugary maltiness with hints of earth dark fruits and licorice. Nice beer!

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a black color with a two finger tan foamy head. Some semi-thick lace roamed around the glass nicely.
The aroma had some raisins, roasted malts, mild milk chocolate, some sweet oats, light butterscotch and a brief damp wood.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side slightly but developed some roast and a light bitterness as it warmed. Aftertaste was semi-sweet with the roast coming across fairly nice. Finish was mildly quick and sweet.
The palate was about medium bodied with a pretty good sessionable sort of smooth feel roaming all around my tongue. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good and warming.
Overall, pretty nice stout borderline to an Imperial, but still worthy of having again.

Needs more work.

Draft @ the Nano brewery. Aroma is milk chocolate and light hints of caramel. Creamy body, high carbonation. Flavor is primarily chocolate with hints of caramel, ash and a touch of bitterness on the back end. Not noticeable hop bitterness but something is there. Body is pretty solid with a lingering chocolate sweetness in the finish. Overall a nice mild, flavorful brew.
