This is a full bodied stout with loads of chocolate and roasty flavours that mellow into a smooth and rich finish.

Bought this at the Spinnakers Wine Merchants in James Bay on a recommendation from a friend and co-worker, very glad I did. I've always found Spinnakers beers to lack carbonation, but in this style that quality works perfectly. This brew is seriously dark, inky black in colour and pours with almost no head. Roasted coffee dominates the mild aroma, and it also has some kind of brown and/or burnt sugar thing going. Very cool. The texture is not overly thick, with a distinct oily feel. Huge chocolate flavour, nice and rich, with a subtle dry finish. Beware the booze on this one, it sneaks up on you at almost 8% because there is no alcohol burn. Before last weekend (when I tasted their divine Pumpkin Porter), I would have said this is my favourite Spinnakers brew. After the pumpkin though, it has slipped to Silver medal. As far as the stuff they actually bottle though, it still is Golden :)

A: Black with a tan head, very thin ring of retention leaves a bit of lace.
S: Roasted nuts & coffee, light demerara, slightly grainy, hints of apple & pear-like esters.
T: Treacle and coffee, light nut & cocoa, grainy biscuit, modest bitterness, alcohol is subtle.
M: Well-attenuated, not much residual sweetness, actually seems a bit thin, the alcohol isn't drying, but there's a dry roasty finish.
O: Overall it's a fine brew, but nothing is spectacular.

Pours almost black in colour with absolutely no head. Smell is not very strong, moctly coffee and malts. Taste is pretty much the same - coffee - really nice. Nice bitter finish. Mouthfeel is actually really crisp, surprisingly for stout, beer is really smooth with medium body and very well balanced. It's really drinkable, alcohol is hidden well in this beer. Anf it's really warming too. Nice beer for long winter nites I think.

Pitch black with a thin beige head, not much retention. Chocolate malt, brewer's licorice, some molasses on the nose. Smokey roasted malts, licorice and molasses in the flavour. Smooth mouthfeel, but lacks some body. Definitely a pleasure to drink however.
