I tried four different beers on this visit and this was by far the best, in fact I just had to take a growler of it home just to last me till my next visit. The bartender handed me a very dark brown almost black stout that smelled of sweet chocolate and coffee. Taste of oatmeal, coffee and a rich chocolate that tasted great together and was thick and creamy in my mouth. This beer left me wanting more of it and was highly drinkable.

The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated pretty quick. Streamy lace. The aroma had a good amount of roasted dark malts, substantial milk chocolate tones, some dark chocolate, some woodiness and a little bit of smoke. The flavor was towards the roasty side at first and bit into the sweetness slightly. Long roasty aftertaste and finish. The palate was about medium bodied and leaning towards a decent sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Roastiness doesn’t feel a bit bigger than expected but I didn’t mind. Overall, pretty damn good stout that I would love to have again.

Very dark blackish brown. Unfortunately the head dissipated almost immediately. No smell save a mossy smell. Tastes auite delicious. A bit burnt. A bit dry. Fleeting carbonation. Lingering malt like a porter. Not terrible. Wouldnt buy again. But would drink it if offered fo free.
