Pint can pours with a deep dark chocolate to black colored body that supports a moderately dark tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of estery jamminess followed by dark roasted malts and then soft malts and toffee. The taste delivers a smooth fairly rich rush of sweet malts, dark roasted malts, a sliver of dark roasted coffee and then chocolate malts. Nice. This murmurs of sweet dark fruity esters faded to almost nothing after a few sips making me wonder if they were even there in the first place. I really dig a non adjunct big stout. This one does not disappoint.
