This bold foreign-style extra stout is loaded with aromas of roast, coffee, and chocolate. Traditionally a beer brewed to be bigger in order to stand up to being shipped all over the world, the bold malt notes are paired with firm hop bitterness to help it remain balanced.

12 ounce can, canned on 10/04/23, another brew thanks to Brutaltruth! Served in a chalice, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head that stayed around a little while. There's also a pretty good amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee. For the most part the taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some dark fruit/berries, earthy and dark bready flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's creamy and a bit coating with a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought this was a pretty good overall foreign style extra stout, wouldn't mind trying this again in the future!

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. this excellent export style pours a
dark brown with dark tea highlights and a nice head of khaki foam
that fades to a thick creamy ring, thin clumping layer, and sports some
nice light lacing. Nose of dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, dark coffee,
subtle char, and subtle cream. Flavors are exactly what I would expect from this
fine brewery. Dark chocolate, dark coffee, waves of dark roast, char, light
cream notes, and dark berry notes of black berry and raspberry. Mouth feel is
full, smooth, rich, coating, light carbonation, and a bitter sweet malt finish
loaded with chocolate and coffee.
Of Note, warmth gives some rise to a bittering hop that is nicely placed and
shows some extra finesse.
Overall, one can not go wrong with this brewery. They nail it every time!
Cheers
