Golden naked oats mashed with dark crystal and robust roasted malts create a luscious black brew with satin smooth finish. Layering UK Target hops throughout the boil adds pleasant, earthy complexity while higher fermentation temperatures enhance overall flavor with fruity esters. An old-world style, done the Green Flash way. Big, bold, flavorful and complex.

    Pours very dark with mocha head. The aroma is roasty dark malts, just a bit of burnt malts, some nice chocolate malts and faint toffee. The taste is pretty yummy. I get roasty to burnt malts to go along with dark chocolate. Midway some caramel and toffee surfaces before the big roastiness, dark roastiness and burnt malts surge and take over. Sweet, roasty, yummy with some pine hops riding along in the background.

    Bottle. Pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, spices and caramel. Well balanced with a nice bitterness.

    My local liquor store had this on clearance for $4.99/4 pack. Drink before 1/9/2016. Seems legit and certainly worth a try. Pour an opaque dark brown color with a small tan head. Leaves some nice spidery lacing. Roasted malt, chocolate with a hint of coffee on the nose. Roasted malt leads the flavors with chocolate, coffee and earthy hops rounding out the taste. Mouthfeel is full, but not as thick as many other Imperial Stouts that I have tasted. Alcohol is well hidden. Good stuff and a steal for the price.

    Pure black stout that I drank out of the bottle, all four of them. Just a very slight note of bitterness. Made me a Green Flash fan. I will buy more of these plus try some of their other brews.

    Pours pitch black with a sub one finger head that lofts for a bit. Aroma is of caramel, cinnamon, rotten fruit, and dark roasted malts. Taste has a huge hit of metal with hints of lactose, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, and dark malts. Mouthfeel is a tad on the watered side and is a bit awkward to drink. Metallic taste lingers a bit but is subdued. Aftertaste is kinda chewy. Odd beer but good.

    Outstanding stout. Great mix of roasted barley and hops. Super smooth feel in a nice full bodied beer. Had this for breakfast and it was a great replacement for coffee! Nice and bitter, served at about 50 degrees, just very well made.

    Wonderful rich flavour of roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee and a bit of a hop finish. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Aroma and appearance was a bit of a let down but I have had this bottle for a while. Have to try again.

    First introduction to Green Flash, and now a fan. Reminded me of the newer Guinness Foreign Stout, but a cleaner/better quality representation. Black appearance with a dark mocha head. Creamy texture. Rich chocolate flavor with near-perfect hop balance. Barely notice the 8.8% ABV. I want to try their Red Ale first, but I am sure I'll be getting this again.
