This one pours real dark with a tan colored head, nice and creamy.
The aroma is a pretty subtle but there is a little bit of roastiness to it.
The flavor is of roasted malt, mild chocolate, coffee notes. Just enough hops to really balance this one out. This is a great tasting beer.
The mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Very creamy and good.
This is a very drinkable beer, I'd go back for more of this one.

Nearly black coloration, with crimson highlights peeking through...slim cocoa-tan head...very stoutly...
Aroma is chocolate and cream...rich and luscious...very invigorating! I like it, I like it! Bittersweet cocoa, a hint of molasses...I said I liked it, right?
Taste: mmmm,....HMMmmm!!!...richness, chocolate and cream, again...quite a tasty stout!
Medium to full in body, with a long, sweet finish. Sweetness is really the key note here...you just keep drinking and drinking...a taste-errific treat!...
...nothing steps in your way...for stoutophiles, this is a keeper!

On-tap at the brewpub: Black stain over dark ambered edges. Densely compacted yet fluffy-esk cocoa colored head caps the dark at about a finger high. Keeps a good skimming and lacing glazes the glass with thick foamy curtians and strings.
Aroma is light but seemingly rich of milk chocolate and a touch or coffee roast. A bit of fruity tang intersedes underneath with a bit of apple and dark cherry.
Flavors are quite supple and abundant of milk chocolate. Nice milky sensations fill the palate with an ease as candy bar chocolate makes its way all through the experience. Finishes light and airy with a nice little wrapping up of roasty and slightly bittered coffee. Simple, bold, and holding. Great use of chocolate tones in this.
Feel is about medium with a creamy, bold sense of firm silky smoothness. Low carbonation makes for easy downability.
Perhaps the cornerstone of the Hereford's beers. By far the best they have to offer and proud of it. Good stuff.
