Paid $8.99 for a mixed 6'er...

Limited 03/04 edition

This beer pours the blackest stout I have ever seen, with a medium-large dark brown head, exceptional retention and a few marks of lacing at the end. The aroma gives away some nice stout characteristics... starting with it's core of chocolate, and seconary characteristics of roasted malts and a dark-roasted coffee, one of the darkest!

The taste is very impressive, not only does it continue with the above aroma characteristics, it also has a hint of creme and vanilla embeded in the taste, very powerful and unique! The mouthfeel is also in its own class, the creamy taste characteristc seems to flow this beer straight through your mouth, leaving a smooth delivery. As this beer settles it's a very drinakble beer, I might have another since this beer attributes a lot, also the 8.5%abv is nowhere to be found, even right after the pour as some beers give off.

Final Thought: As you let this beer settle you notice a remarkable taste change... it's up there for stouts, period!
