Pours black and thick like oil. Has a 1" dark brown head. Looks amazing. Very strong chocolate aroma, amazing. Flavor is rich chocolates, milk and dark chocolates mixed together, without much more of a flavor. Damn tasty beer with a nice, smooth bitter finish. Overrated? Hardly. Few compare to this.

Dark golden with a low but creamy head. Smells like vodka........hmmm. Tastes nothing but alcohol. Awful stuff.

A golden colored beer with a white head. The aroma and flavor is dominated by alcohol with no complexity to hide it - just too much for me.

Bottled. This is from my gift stash of five-year-old beers. The label mentions the Cincinnati brewery, but not Boston Beer or Hudepohl.
This aged bottle opens to a big smell of molasses, coffee and chicory. Pours the darkest brown head Iโve seen, which thins away quickly. A slight lactic sourness, not a prominent as a Caffreyโs, lends an orangey chracter. An astringent espresso roast flavor add to bitterness for its own sake. But toward the finish it mellows out and leaves you with an impression of rum.
This was part of a stash a fellow homebrewer gave away, which I thought would barely carry me through to my 100th rating. Instead, Iโm at 342 with two bottles left.

Bottle. Black beer with a deep tan head. Aroma of roasted malt,coffee, and cocoa. Roasted malt flavor a coffee-like ending - and again, some chocolate. Smooth beer thatโs easy to drink. Finishes with a sweetness that lingers. A little lactose at the end as well.

TAP-Deep dark with moka head. Stewed frutis aroma coated in choclate. A bit sweeter than expected, but very enjoyable sweet choclate, lighter hops, good body.
Trinidad Version: A deep dark stout with a very thick lacing brown head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with perfumy notes, coffee and chocolate. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate caramel malt with light licorice notes, coffee, overall, very nice for T&T. 7-3-7-3-13

Plain stout appearance with little head, the aroma is milky with a dry finish, and the flavour is milky with a bitter tinge with quite an off-centre feel about it. Overall an ok sweetish stout with a slight dry finish.

Copper brown. Creamy steady white head. Aroma is herbal and hoppy. Easy drinkable smooth malty palate. Some bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied and a bit watery. Aftertaste is oily and has some toffee flavor.

(275 ml bottle.) Very dark/black, good tan head. Aroma is malts and coffee, flavour is sweet and malty with coffee and chocolate notes, hardly any bitterness. This beer proves that a low ABV beer can be flavourful, but it's just too sweet to be a favourite of mine.
