Pour is a black with a large mocha tan head. Aroma is a nice roast and bitter bakers chocolate combo. Flavor is an equally nice roasted malt and more of a coffee finish. This was a pretty good stout. Lots of roasted malt with some chocolate and coffee.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice fruity and estery yeast. Flavor is more yeasty esters with a chewy pale malt and a little spicy white pepper. Seems they were going for a Dupont clone and came pretty close.

Pour is a clear brown with a large tan head. Aroma is of a slight roasted nut. Flavor is the same. Slight roasted nut and caramel. Finish is a bit thin but it has some nutty aspects to make this worth a try.
