4.8/5 rDev +6.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5

Poured into a tulip glass dark brown almost black. Started with about 3/4 inch of dark foam that dissipated to a lighter ring. Nice lacing all the way to the bottom. Smell is coffee, roasty malt, caramel and maybe a little vanilla. Wonderful sweet malt, coffee and caramel taste. Not too sweet, just right. Medium/heavy mouthfeel with light carbonation. Overall an excellent beer. Very flavorful but not overpowering. Easy to drink for a bigger stout.

4.16/5 rDev -8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

As far as stouts go, this is a nice one. A lot of coffee forward with a chocolate backing. The oatmeal comes through shortly thereafter and you don't really taste the high alcohol content. I've had a lot of stouts and this one is a definite favorite. The head is slightly disappointing as it stands up well after the pour, but rapidly disappears. The lacing is adequate. Good mouthfeel and you don't get the blah taste twenty minutes later from the high alcohol stout. Solid beer.

Serving type: on-tap

4.38/5 rDev -3.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured into a beer mug at a little colder than room temperature.

Appearance: Pours to a one finger (poured gently) deep mocha brown head; pitch black body.

Smell: Smells very malty with definite notes of cocoa, oatmeal, and brewed coffee.

Taste: Tastes strongly of coffee upfron subsiding to a chocolately finish. Oatmeal toward the end, maybe even a touch of molasses; very satisfying for sure.

Mouthfeel: Thick, smooth, and creamy. Truly great; lightly carbonated.

Overall: an outstanding stout. One of my new favorites, this is a must-try for dark beer lovers.
