A dark brown colour with copper-ruby highlights, a frothy warm-beige head, good stay and some foamy lacing spots left. Some mild chocolate, cacao nose over the roasted malts, coffee and nutty hints. The taste is a little milder, kind of bland, or too well-blended - so nothing really standing out from the Stout side. A tad dark fruits, but where did the coffee, lactose and chocolate go ?? An alright Stout, but disappointed in the end.

This Mocha stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, deep brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include black toast, smoke, dark chocolate, coffee and a little cardboard. First swig was delicious. Not quite as creamy as it looked like it was going to be but flavourful nonetheless. Flavours of coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla and cream just to name a few. Finish is roasty with chocolate coffee flavours lingering.

Hazy yellow pour, small white head. Tart almond /amaretto aroma, with some light citrus and wheat. Mouthfeel is very thin, carb is very light. Light tartness, musty malted wheat, wet paper, weird cherry, almond musty sweetness.... This is a mess.
