Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is solid black, head is tan with fine bubbles and presents one finger thick, head lingers with solid top and spotty lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is roast, cocoa, very light licorice, brown sugar, hints of coffee, earth, herbal light hop notes.

Taste is very similar with upfront roast, cocoa, sugar, light coffee notes, earthy and herbal hop notes.

Mouthfeel is lighter carbonation, light/moderate sweetness, lowish bitterness.

Overall a very good stout with light sweeter lean but pleasant roast and cocoa flavor.

Heavy Water pours black with a small, tan head. The aroma is filled with roasted malt notes. The flavor is toasty, with lots of roasted cereal, a bit more bitter, and a good feel. Overall, it's a no-frills stout, a bit more on the bitter side.

 

Pours black with a creamy tan brown foam head. Notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, creamy caramel, molasses, toasty brown sugar, toffee, roasted coffee, hint of dark berry and piney hops. Feels medium bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice stout.

Black pour with a tan head that disappears fairly quickly. This stout plays it safe--sure it's roasty, but not overly so. There's coffee flavor, some chocolate, even a touch of berry. It straddles the sweet and bitter line and while I admire the restraint, it leaves you short of robust, and closer to "meh".
