A pitch black beer with a dense brown head. The aroma is slightly acidic with notes of prunes and wood. The flavor is sweet with a strong dry roasted malt note. I find a big difference from aroma to flavor, the aroma reminds me most of a Mild, while the flavor is like a stout.

I enjoyed this basic stout- sometimes a beer that has all of the necessary elements but doesn’t offer much originality still hits the spot. The body is deep, clear chestnut brown with a puffy tan head that dissipates rather quickly. Coffee and roast aroma with acidic notes. Nice roasted malt flavor with coffee, a touch of caramel that hinted at sweetness (though this was very subtle), and a nice smattering of baker’s chocolate. The beer does lose points for being too thin-bodied and watery. I enjoyed this basic stout.
