Distinct dry espresso theme rises above soft-watered barley-oats sear and hop-charred cocoa bean, cacao seed, tar, and coal illusions, absorbing black chocolate-y burnt walnut trail relegated to back-throated quip.

Decisive brown-hued beige-bubbled stout with extremely strong coffee persistence gains rich smoked mocha bitterness by dry hop finish as ripe citrus and black licorice form backdrop.

Rare find- a Belgian mild stout! As wood-burnt molasses malting subsides, chocolate-roasted prune-soured fig-dried cola-hazelnut ascension reinforces whiskey-soaked lactose-maltose creaminess. After settling, overripe banana and vanilla illusions gain strength. Earthen herbal bottom usurps brittle bourbon buzz, bruised orange lick, and mildly peppered nutmeg spicing of 8.5% alcohol elixir.

Beautiful cascading bubbles surge from mahogany body to tan head, creating visual pleasure deplorable hop-grained acridity ruins. Disappointingly, pungent oak-dried cherry sourness and ester-y white grape pucker form acidic demeanor further burdened by burnt coffee smear.

Forceful Starbuck’s-like dark roasted coffee strength fortifies milky brown chocolate richness, mild cappuccino-espresso stint, and creamy vanilla resiliency coarsened by earthen hazelnut-walnut sash.
