Very dark color and dark brown head as well, head of 1/2 inch but decreases pretty quickly. Low carbonation. Smell has a touch of blueberry to it. Starts flavorful, light bodied and fruity sweet -- finishes thicker with a nice coffee and chocolate combination. One of the better finishes in "beerdom", tasty. Gets a high mark for "swapping" two good flavor profiles in the sip.

12oz bottle poured into a tulip pint glass at fridge temp 4.9% ABV. The beer pours dense black with light brown head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of tiny bubbles. The aroma is mild with sweet and roasty notes. The taste is bittersweet roasted malt with mild lactose sweetness, a hint of acidulated malt and dark chocolate roasted malt. Mild bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium plus bodied with just less that average carbonation and a semi dry finish. Overall, very good. A simple and well executed beer.

Poured black with a dark tan head that lingered and had medium lacing.

Tastes of charred roasted malts right up front with some coffee/chocolate with some lactose sweetness mixed in. Nice.

Midnight black pour with to fingers of brown foam. Smells of chocolate sauce, light coffee, caramel, and light earth. Taste follows with more malt depth, finish has decent roast. Feel is lighter bodied, malty, and smooth, but finish is not super clean. Classic milk stout

Pitch black dark in appearance. Bold complex flavors of coffee, mild hint of chocolate, and spice. Slightly bitter after taste. Seems to go down better with food rather than on an empty stomach (Maybe I'm just getting old :) )
