12 oz bottle. Pours an opaque black color with a medium sized sudsy beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is somewhat mild blackened grains, a bit of chocolate and some caramel. The taste is well roasted grains, earth, trace of coffee and a bit of bitter chocolate. The palate seemed a bit thin and the carbonation was lively. Finished medium in duration with lingering bitter coffee. Overall: Decent stout--paired well with some BBQ potato chips.

Bottle via Beer Republic. 2022, 10,2% ABV. Med-full body, medium carbonation. High bitterness, pretty high hoppiness, grassy, resiny, piney. Medium sweetness and medium alco warmth. Quite intense overall, yet nuanced, easy sipping. Lots of chocolatey maltiness, toffeeish caramelly maltiness and dried fruits, raisins, light prunes. Very good.

Bottle via Beer Republic. Med-full body, medium carbonation. Medium sweetness, med-high roasty bitterness, a bit of warmth. ABV hidden pretty well though. Lots of maltiness, cocoa, a bit chocolatey and coffeeish, a nutty hint. Also a bit of dried fruits. Overall a really good balance, rich and tasty. Very good beer.
