Bottle. Body is black with a one finger tan head. Looks a little thin. Aromas are of cardboard, light chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor adds to the above with sweet vanilla tones and additional chocolate with a hint of plums and soy. Palate is a little thinner than I would have prefered and not quite full enough to make all of the flavors pop. Decent enough, but not great.

One of my favorite stouts behind Yeti. Very easy to drink, and drink a lot of. Pours like thick motor oil with a late growing, huge, creamy, dark brown head. Tons of lacing and good retention all the way through. Black body. Very malty with nice chocolate notes. Very sipable, sweet stout with vanilla, alcohol and a nice coffee balance. Nice thick and smooth body. Will buy this one again!

Brewed by Carib. Dark brown with a reasonably thick light brown head. Smells a bit lagerish, and a little bit roasty. Good creamy mf, light roast that gets more acrid and bitter as it goes. Decent, with some "foreign" character but the charred notes and low abv place it more as a regular stout. 4-5-7-3-13=3.2

Brewed by Sam Adams. Very dark reddish-brown. Medium brown head. Fudgey, crackery aroma with a strong vanilla accent component...like store brand ice cream thatโs been sitting in the freezer a shade too long. Soft, smooth body. Roasty notes of Taiwanese iced coffee . Sweet, but not simple nor boring. Mix of milkiness, smoothness and firm roast. This adds a bit of fudgy chocolate. Solid brew...no complaints. 7-4-8-4-16 = 3.9
