Poured from bottle into tulip, 1 finger tan head, so so retention and lacing. Jet black in the glass no light gets thru. Smells of roasted malt, caramel, burnt sugar, caramel being the predominate smell. Taste is roasted malt and caramel sweetness that follows thru to the finish. Dangerously easy drinking, not cloying, but the caramel is there. Somewhat a one note beer, but it is a good note

Pours a pitch black color with a half finger foamy brown head. Head retention is minimal. Lacing is mild. Has a slight roasty aroma with heavy caramel. Very mild roasted coffee up front with heavy caramel. Lightly salted. Light to medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Served on tap in a snifter
Appearance - The beer is served a deep brown color with a one finger head of tan colored foam. The head has a good level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave a little bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma of the brew is heavy of a roasted malt smell mixed with aromas of chocolate and vanilla. Along with these smells comes a decent showing of a sea salt caramel sweetness and a touch of coffee. Overall the aroma is something akin to a salted caramel latte.
Taste - The taste begins with a sweet roasted malt flavor with a big showing of caramel and molasses sweetness as well as a nice roasty flavor with notes of cocoa and some coffee. While the sea salt is very light upfront, it gets more and more potent as the taste profile moves forward with the caramel becoming more and more pronounced as well. Some other milk like flavors also develop as the taste advances combining with the coffee and the roast to produce a latte like flavor. A touch of nut and herb come at the end, along with a little bit of warming alcohol, leaving one with a dark and sweet salted caramel taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel - The body of the brew is rather thick and creamy with a carbonation level that is on the lower side. For the rich, sweet, salted caramel, and roasty taste of the brew the feel is great and makes for a nice slow sipper overall.
Overall - A nice salted caramel stout, with a coffee-salted candy bar like taste. Quite robust and flavorful.

I had this on tap at Blatt in Dallas. I thought it was a pretty good, salty and not a very sweet stout. Relatively easy drinking.

Look: Black with a thin mocca colored head

Aroma: roasted malts, caramel, nuts

Taste: Flavor is roasted malts, caramel, salt, chocolate, maybe nuts at the end, very good.

Body/Overall: medium to full body.

Tasted from tap in a good restaurant. The beer is a very dark chocolate color and had a thick, velvetty head in a nice straw color. The nose gave strong hints of caramel and also almonds. The palate started with some bitterness which gave way to an almost taffy like flavor of salted caramel. The finish was medium long but there was little development. Overall this is an outstanding beer if you like salted caramel flavors with your beer. Highly recommended.

12 ounce bottle dated 11/27/19 poured into a snifter. A dark rich chocolate color that had a thin head. Smells of sweet chocolate and caramel. The taste is sweet right up front and then the chocolate and finishes nutty. The mouthfeel is thin and syrupy but chews well. Overall it excels as a dessert beer or other special occasion brew.
