Tasting Notes: This beer pours a very dark, almost black color. About a half inch tan head that dissipates rapidly. First taste is one of burnt coffee which fades a bit with subsequent tastes. All in all a good stout. I must admit I’m not a big fan of ‘burnt’. But that taste tended to fade as the beer went down. I would drink it again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for one.
