This is the January selection in Elevator’s "MBA" program. Pours a nice dark black/brown color with a thick milk chocolate-colored head that disappears slowly. Decent lacing. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Medium-bodied and unfortunately a little thin at times, with a good chocolate, coffee and malt flavoring. The finish is smooth and creamy with a lightly bitter coffee and hops aftertaste. If this Stout had a little more body it would be excellent. Still it is pretty darn good.
