UPDATED: SEP 7, 2020 Bottle from JPs pour opaque black with large tan head. Nose red fruit, stewed fruit, mineral chocolate. Taste milk chocolate, red fruit, light mineral.

UPDATED: JUL 5, 2020 Bottle. Very dark brown with a very small head. Aroma is burnt grains, metallic, and a little boozy. Taste is burnt grain bitter. Not the best I've ever had.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2019 Found out of bottle. Pours oil black with thick khaki foam. Great winter option. Smooth but not really overly heavy.

UPDATED: JUL 28, 2019 Motor oil black thick head. Aromas roast, smoke, olive, oat,rye. Flavors rye, slight olive, smoke, toffee. Slight sour light sweetness, slight dry finish. Not to complex or on the sweet side. For those who like their stouts on the dryer side.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2019 5/30/19 With A watching Dodgeball, grilling steaks & writing songs about moonshine! Nose is tons of roasty malt & chocolate. Unexpected lack of coffee for the style. Tayse is surprisingly bright and very chocolatey with roasted flavors coming through on the finish. Palate is heavy medium with some bright malty notes. Overall, solid stout & super drinkable for a big stout!

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2018 Poured from 12 oz bottle into tulip glass. Color is dark brown/black. Thin tan head, no lacing. Alcohol is present on the nose along with rich roasted malt and hops. Mouthfeel is thick and viscous with a somewhat damp finish. Flavors of dark roasted malt, a bit of char, molasses, a hint of licorice, with a nice hop balance. Overall: a nice sipper on a cold night, but the alcohol presence is quite noticeable.
