Big fluffy white heat that leaves lacing and all. Rather light amber colour. Grassy and piny hops in the aroma methinks. Watery at the front of the palate. Light taste of piny hops and some malts. Bready and yeasty at the finish. Ok, but nothing great really.

12oz bottle pours out a hazy dark amber topped with a off white head. Aroma of light hops and paper. A little flower on it also a odd bitter tast at the end. Pretty tasty Thanks Indiana_Red

Bottle pours a hazy orange tan with a very large creamy off white head. Nice sweet heavy malty aroma with lots of orange citrusy hops as well. A little soapy. Flavor is quite sweet and carmely. A strong late bitterness that is not very apealing. The rather high ABV comes through a bit as well but is not obtrusive. Moderate carbonation and a fairly heavy feel otherwise.

12 oz bottle from Secret Santa. Pour is a slightly hazy very light white yellow with a lot of bubbles. Aroma is coriander, citrus and a tiny bit of earthiness. Taste is a lot of citrus - mostly on the lemon side of the scale. Pretty ordinary beer, though it was nicely situated somewhere between a Saison and a Wit. Santa was looking out for my favorite style, which is very cool.

On tap at Good Dog bar in Philly...smells like a good dry stout...dark ass brown....well made, well balanced....lots of coffee flavor (lots)...very tasty!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a golden color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma was faint floral and spicy hops. The flavor was dry, crisp and bitter with a dry floral hop element. The finish was long, dry and bitter.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small brown head. The aroma was light sweet roasty malts and a hint of molasses. The flavor had a fairly strong molasses element followed by light roasty malts and floral hops and a touch of anise. There was a vaguely sour finish. The mouthfeel was moderately smooth. Solid.

I have been waiting awhile to taste this. Since the time I bought the Yards variety pack, last year, hoping to get a dark beer. Nope wasn’t in there, boy, was I disappointed. I did, however, get a very nice sassion, one of the best I’ve tasted. Nice trade off. Well, anyway, I finally get to taste this love stout. Sounds good! 12 oz brown bottle. Get the opener to pop it for a ubiquitous redolent aroma of beer. From the first smell, you may think its pale yellow. It is not until you pour it into the glass do you smell chocolate and roastyness. Very dark brownish black makes this almost opaque. I think I may be getting an olfactory hint of anise now. No head, just a dark tan girdle around the edge. Very roasty ab ovo de gustibus. Creamy roasty flavors the dance on your tastebuds. Very very nice indeed. As far as the taste of this stout goes, this is on par with bells kalamazoo. Very mellow burned malt interests. Carbonation is bucolic, low creamyness on the back of your tongue and throat, lo medium. I hope this isn’t just tasting good cause I had a good day! I detect some wet burned wood in there coming on. As a pure stout, this may be better than east end black strap, but it is because black strap should be an imp stout style. Black strap has more impressive bitterness to the palate. I do not feel any medicine like qualities in the finish, smooth and endearing. One of the better pure stouts I have tasted. Better than lags cappuccinos and saranacs B&T. This is good enough to be classified as a sweet stout.

Sampled from a 12 oz cobalt blue bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma has elements of pine, spruce, maple and cleaning solvent. The flavor is surprisingly minty with a strong malty presence and elements of spruce and light chocolate. Very interesting in small doses.
