Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours black with a creamy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a dry roasted malt note with bitter coffee and a bit of dark grains backing. Flavor is a bit more smooth with dark grains and coffee but has a bit of dry roasted malts towards the finish.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one finger off whitefoamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Light lacing stuck in rings around my glass.
The smell had a huge combination of roasty coffee beans to big milk and dark chocolate goodness.
The taste was basically the same smooth sweet roasty coffee to chocolate. Sticky sweet roasty aftertaste leads to a sticky sweet chocolate finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping to sessionable quality about it. Smooth sticky roasty sweetness clings to my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a wonderful breakfast stout that I would love to have again.

Even has a slight feel of wildness about it, welcomed fer sure. Was expecting a big impy stout thang. But its reserved and well behaved, like able. Better than expected. Roasty happy BS civilized but cant taste this oak int here, what ev.

On the cold weather Pgh tour of winter 2015 spring at bocktown robinson. A totally cloudy vanilla colored cider. Yes, some mild apple perfume on the aroma. The perfume pleasantly carries over tot he taste. Not as dry as I thunk it would be. Decent co2 as well. yes, better than expected fer sure. Not totally fermented out. Does have the pleasant effect of mild sugar in there. Makes it quite approachable. Pretty good overall cider, so much better than my rude homebrew BS.

Purchased a 22 oz. bottle @ Wegmans in Wilkes Barre, PA. Darker ruby/ brown color with thin head. Aroma is a mild pine with a deeper caramel and light citrus over top the caramel. The base malt is caramel toffee with some toasted grain. The hops and bitterness has a West Coast feel with a solid amount of pine with citrus as an after thought. The bitterness has a resin feel that lingers for a good amount after the sip. The ABV doesn’t show itself much and overall a nice drink.
