Our brewers have poured their hearts and roasted malted into this rich, slightly sweet stout. Luscious notes of coffee and chocolate accent the smooth, creamy, mouth feel. We will not apologize for any amorous affairs resulting from the consumption of this beverage.

Pours a dark brown color with a thin mocha colored head. Aroma has notes of cocoa, roasted barley with a light cream note coming through. Taste has notes of roasted malts, barley, cocoa, a hint of coffee, some light creamy notes with a mild earthy bitterness on the back end. Light sweetness does come through in the flavor profile. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. Sort of drier on the finish. Overall a very enjoyable stout - I feel like this would be amazing cask conditioned.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Dark, dark brown pour.. nearly black with big fluffy mocha head. Lasts awhile with nice lacing.

S: Dry and roasty... grains and light coffee.

T.F: Dry and roasty, just like it smells. A bit of espresso and dark chocolate. Some earthy hops and grains. Well carbonated... medium to light bodied. Smooth/creamy. Dry finish.

O: A somewhat above average dry Irish stout. Easy drinking... nothing special but I'd have it again.

Dark stout with a hint of earthiness. Tastes of chocolate with some caramel as well in this brew. Some yeast, some malt, overall a solid beer to drink.

Pours a tan foamy slightly thick head with medium retention, light soapy lacing, very dark basically black color

Nose nice roasty malt, roasted barely with plenty of coffee and dark chocolate, cocoa notes, touch of nougat and caramel, no char, hint of earthy hop, bit of sweet candy

Taste dark roasty malts, plenty more roasty coffee but also a little acrid char, sight burnt malt, light vanilla, dark chocolate, spicy earthy hop with medium bitterness from hops and dark malts, char and a little yeasty note, dry medium bitterness finish, dark chocolate, char and burnt coffee lingering

Mouth is medium bod, richer, a bit creamy, medium high carb

Overall mixed, or had good qualities but gets to acrid burnt roast and a bit yeasty, but good hops, nice bitterness, good nose, just that overly roasted burnt malt

Unknown vintage; drank 12/26/14 @ Wharf Rat.

Brown hue.

Khaki nitro head; a curtain of tree-rung lace.

Salt water & milk chocolate nose.

Medium thick, creamy mouthfeel.

Fresh earth, cream, sea salt & milk chocolate flavors; all quite mild.

Easy to drink but not very memorable.

12 oz bottle in a Belgian snifter.

Appearance: Thin head over a clear but very dark brown body. A little spotty lacing.

Coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma along with faint dark bread.

Flavor: mildly bitter. Coffee and brown bread are dominant.

Medium-full body with light carbonation.
