This pours a roasty black in color with tight foam lacing atop. It has a great roast aroma full of dark chocolate & cocoa nibs. On my first sniff i picked up layers of roast, toffee, toast and roastiness but after tasting the flavor comes across on my palate, muting the complexity I found in the aroma. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just the nuances I detected while inhaling are now nuances I find on the palate. Lots of roast, lots of toast, and a wonderful dark coffee/dark chocolate flavoring. It finishes dry and goes down smoothly. Not a hoppy stout but there is a pronounced bitterness giving it definition. Thinner bodied than I tend to prefer but utterly tasty nonetheless.

Serving type: on-tap

From their site: This is a meal in a glass. Brewed with 7 different malts and served cask-conditioned, you should be ready for a full onslaught of creamy stout intensity. Broadly in the style of a Foreign Extra Stout, this is our heaviest and most intense year-round offering.

7% ABV, 60 IBUs

Sampled 3/4/2011 at a tasting held at Atlas/AZ Wine during RBWG 2011.

Pours mostly black, somewhat hazy with brown showing through, tan head that doesnt last but laces decently.

Aroma is ash, roast, some chocolate, and smoke.

Flavor is very harsh. Ash and smoke are the first things that I notice along with the bitter/acrid feel. Behind the burnt offerings quality there is some chocolate and roast along with trace amounts of maltiness.

Body is medium and not overly drinkable. Too harsh to enjoy. This beer almost needs to oxidize.
