Not one of the sweeter ones, which is nice. It has dark/roasty malts, dark fruit and molasses. There is an espresso coffee bitterness throughout, very nice. Dry-ish, light mouthfeel that does finish very nicely.

22 ounce bomber with ?a couple years of age on it.
Black pour with two fingers creamy mocha head.
Nose gives molasses, roasty dark malt, coffee/coffee grounds, dark fruit, touch of licorice.
Taste chocolate malt creamy sweetness, sweetened coffee, molasses, black licorice, followed by a hop and coffee bitterness on the swallow.
Creamy medium full mouthfeel - feels bigger than 7% though not boozy - moderate carbonation. Lingering coffee/espresso bitterness.

On tap. Poured an opaque, jet-black color with a light brown head of foam. It smelled of coffee, oats, chocolate and toffee. Rich, roasted malt presence with coffee and dark chocolate. Nice bitterness.

The beer is black with a thin foamy tan head. A nice roasty aroma with a mixture of dark fruits and chocolate. The beer has a slight sweetness to it but a roasty almost burnt bitter flavor to it. The beer is very creamy and smooth.

This one pours a dark black, with a small head and lots of lacing.
This smells lightly smokey, with dark fruit, sweet chocolate, and tobacco.
This sits a little bit too heavily on the palate, but otherwise, it's an excellent stout. It's pretty complex, with lots of dark fruits and lightly sweet smokiness. There's milk chocolate and earthy tobacco too.
This is creamy and just a hint syrupy, with a good level of carbonation.
This seems to be by far the best beer that Pike makes.
