a great creamy sweet stout / lot of flavors thru the whole drink

Pours ink black with a half finger deep mocha colored head atop that is gone pretty quickly.Roast and char dominate the nose,molasses comes thru underneath as well as some alcohol sweetness as it warms.A pretty even mix or earth,roast,and char upfront then becoming intertwined with chocolate,dark fruit, and vanilla into the finish.Really straight forward and not overly nuanced,it has everything you want in a big stout.

 

 

021620: Inverted the can a few times before pouring. Dark and oily in the glass. Frothy brown head that leaves minimal lacing. Light cocoa and coffee on the nose. Milk chocolatey and subtle, earthy coffee with fuller mouthfeel. Runes of residue in the glass when finished.

A-Pours a very dark color with a nice tan head and lacing
A-Aroma has chocolate, vanilla and coffee hints
T-The taste follows the nose with a chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavor
M-A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
O-A great Stout

 

L: Had this beer on-tap at Brewmasters - Wilson, poured into a snifter glass. Had a coal black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a half inch of creamy, tan-colored, fairly long-lasting head. Above average lacing.

S: A very enticing aroma of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, and hops.

T: Tasted of a decent amount of roasted malt (present throughout, but subtle), a mild shot of hops (mostly in the finish; a fleeting taste), a ton of coffee (the big attraction here), and some chocolate as well (always nice to have). This is a big, robust, and warm flavor. Definitely a coffee bomb. Not exactly complex, but certainly delicious.

F: A so-so amount of carbonation with a super smooth finish. Full-bodied.

O: A thoroughly enjoyable flavor. Drinkable.
