    Comment:

    An absolute favorite stout of mine due to its unusual character. Incredibly well malted, has a delicious but not overbearing sweet taste, rich with smokey chocolate and coffee and maybe some caramel. The mouthfeel is delicious and massive, the head is a booming tan. Leaves a wonderfully smooth and sweet taste with a small bitterness around the edges. Rewarding all the way around.
