A - Pitch black pour with micro-thin cream lacing and low carbonation.

S - Toasted cocoa and chocolate are prevalent on the nose with a light roast. There's a slight bit of mineral character on the nose.

T - Light char and chocolate with some toasted fudge. Ends balanced to more on the sweeter side with an underlying mineral presence.

M - Big silky body and leaves a sugary residue on the lips. For the ABV, there is minimal warming on the way down.

O - Slight mineral character and a very well hidden ABV.

Pours dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is mild roasted notes and some chocolate. Taste follows with chocolate coming more to the front. Feel is excellent rich and smooth. Hides the ABV well. Overall it's a tasty one.

On tap at the brewery.

Deep brown color with a foamy tan cap. Typical light lacing for a strong stout.

Dark roasted malt, chocolate, sweet dark fruit aromas.

The malt, chocolate, and hops round out the flavors. The hops are dark fruit mix and a touch of sweet cherries.

Smooth medium body with no booze burn.

Nice start to a Friday night, 2 days to Xmas.
