A perfect beer for the cooler weather. Full bodied and accessible. Notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and caramel with a roasty finish.

I am trying as many locals as I can while over in the Arkansas area...
I really wanted more out of this offering... there's a strange aroma and a weird finish to it...almost sour.... it just seems off? I'd like to try another can of it as it seems to be a popular beer of theirs...
I can't recommend this for now but I would like to try another and will edit my rating if it improves

As an Arky I've been waiting for Ozark Beer to come up with a good stout or Porter. I never really cared for their beer but just figured they didn't make my styles.
So excited to buy it. When it first touched my tongue I thought I had a winner....and then I swallowed it.
Yuck. Cheap sour taste the same as all their beers.

I received a can from @jdell15 in an NBS BIF. No apparent canning date. Poured into a stout glass. It pours a dark walnut with deep cola hues. The foamy, medium khaki head was initially almost two fingers but dissipated quickly leaving minimal lacing. The nose is roasty with dark chocolate, burnt coffee, and earthy, nutty char. The taste is softer and sweeter than its smell would indicate and features dark chocolate, roasted malt, strong black coffee, and nuts. It finishes with gentle bitterness - perhaps because of its age. The mouth feel is lite with fairly strong carbonation, and it's an easy drinker at 5.3% ABV. Overall, I enjoyed this easy-drinking English Stout. It packs a lot of flavor for its alcohol level

Poured from a can. Very dark with a tan head. Smells of roasted grain, chocolate and coffee. Flavors of coffee and roasted grain really come through, hints of chocolate and even vanilla. Very nice.

Look- deep black color, poured hard but little to no foam.
Aroma- i get mostly coffee, but not much else comes through
Taste- i get the coffee and the caramel, but the chocolate just isn't really there for me.
Feel- Very smooth, but almost feels too light to be called a full bodied stout. Creamy finish feels spot on tho.
I'm not a huge stout guy, but this ones pretty easy drinking. Not sure I'd seek it out again, but not a bad offering overall.

12oz can. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It left thing trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of roasted coffee, chocolate and toffee. Sweet chocolate taste with nice coffee flavors and a sharp bitterness.
