"A: Pours a jet black almost inky color with a two finger caramel colored frothy head that leaves puffy cloud like lace.
A: Aromas of sweet caramel malt notes with a roasted mix. Noticed some licorice and chocolate malts on the second whiff. Smells very smooth and full bodied.
F: Tastes of sweet chocoloate and caramel malts blends with roasted malts. Very silky smooth and quite rich tasting. Not overly rich though, just that perfect taste that keeps you coming back for more.
M: Mouthfeel and drinkability are awesome on this offering from Alameda. Full bodied but very well balanced. Low carbonation allows you to fully taste the chocolate and caramel. This is what a stout should taste like. Two thumbs up for Alameda. If I had another, I'd drink it right now. I would love to try this on tap...Gotta get out to the Left Coast soon!"

"from previous notes, this is a 'session' stout. It is smooth-drinking with a dry finish. I could see that someone could knock back a few of these. I thought it was pretty nice. "
