look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Near black color where no light passes. Big bubbled initial head that disappears completely leaving no lace whatsoever.

Creamy chocolate notes to the nose. Some black cherry.

Semi-sweet chocolate up front. Very smooth, thick rich body with a lower level of carbonation. Aftertaste is a bitter combination of burnt malts and hops. As far as the style, this scores firmly in the mild side. There's no potent alcohol in flavor (or smell). It also doesn't have the in-your-face burnt biscuit one would expect. Still, this a flavorful, if not slightly sweet, stout.

Serving type: cask
