Pours brown, bit hazy. Roast coffee, vinous, viscosity is high, beer sticks to the glass. Nice chocolaty stout, roast and chocolate are blending great, a bit of fresh coffee - apparently coming from malts. Good roast lingering for quite long. Liking it.

Pitch black color. Big coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, fudge and coffee cake. Light body, great roasted character, modestly hoppy with tons of coffee and chocolate. Very drinkable stout.
