Pour is a jet black with a average tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor is decent with some milk chocolate and a roasted oat. Leaves a woody after taste on the tounge. Pretty decent attempt.

Bottle courtesy of Moejuck: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt is dominant and enjoyable. Taste is dominated by dry coffee notes as well as some light bitter roasted malt. I was expecting more chocolate notes then I could detect and the beer was a bit more dry then expected. Body was quite full with some medium carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. Overall, while this was a very good beer I thought it was slightly too dry for the style and I can’t figure out why this rated so high but again I am probably not the biggest fan of the style to begin with.

Bottle pours a thick inky black with a huge solid brown head. Lots of dark eoasted malts, dark pitted fruits, purple grapes. Flavor is huge smokey roasted malys and lots of bittering with a noticeable ABV note. crazy thick smooth palate and a long bitter sharp trailer. HUGE beer and tasty. Tanks to Jake for that one.

Bottle courtesy of Moejuck: Poured a deep black color stout with a small dirty brown color head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma of coffee is quite dominating with some weird dry hops. Taste is a mix between some dry coffee, some bitter roasted malt and a dry ending with some hops. Body is quite full with some low carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. I thought the taste was just way too dry to be enjoyable and would have appreciated some sweetness to balance this thing out. Quite glad I got the chance to try this but can’t say I truly enjoyed the experience.
