Looks dark but not quite opaquely black. Head could use some better retention. Smell is cocoa, slight coffee, chocolate malt; delightful. Flavor is rich and full but bitter enough to balance out the sweetness. Mouthfeel is where so many of these

Sampled at the SingleSpeed brewery, Waterloo, IA; served in a snifter. Deep reddish-brown in color, with a light tan head and ruby highlights. Roasty, with notes of char, cocoa, and espresso bean in an unexpectedly light-bodied stout. These flavors remain prominent on the palate all the way through to the finish. The brewer lists this as a "session milk stout" at 3.1% ABV. Would I want to "session" it? Probably not. Still, this is a good one.

Aroma is coffee hint of the bottom of a coffee filter and mild chocolate. The flavor is coffee/hint of coffee filter, dark malts, mild chocolate and an acidic finish.

Can from John’s poured into SingleSpeed tulip. Bountiful head, especially for a session. Also impressive roasty full flavor.
