As far as IPS goes, this is probably right around average...but has potential to be more. The flavor is quite complex. Lots of chocolate, burnt sugar, caramel/toffee, etc. A little sharp and slight metallic up front, but then settles in with the sweetness. Jet black appearance with a creamy low-carbonated feel. It is what it is, but I like it. Affordable too, and not $4-$5 per single like some others.

Comes out of the tap a very deep sable, just a shade above black. Smoky roast-coffee aroma has an undertone of molasses. Flavor has a surprisingly strong sweet component, as well as tones of roast coffee and hints of licorice and red wine. Smooth, nicely thick texture has a hard edge to it.

Pours out extremely black but with zero head. The aroma is strong raisins,malt and chocolate. The mouthfeel is thick and rich. The taste is just a very light touch of hops,the rest is malt,chocolate and a slight sweet milk stout.

Rich flavour is the best quality about this beer. Nice roastiness with dark chocolate, black licorice, oak, vanilla , dark fruit and a touch of spice Sticky almost full mouthfeel. The two A's are nothing to write home about. think this would go well with a cigar.

Raisiny, bitter, black licorice, a hint of smoke...not as smooth as the porter (or as some of the best impy stouts out there) but not too shabby either, just a bit aggressive.

A nice offering from Left Hand, aromas of chocolate, raisins, roasted malts, and licorice.mouth was a bit on the light side for a RIS, standard body, not hardly any head a the occasional spot of lace. Flavor was the same as the aroma, and there is a nice hop presence towards the end. A good, solid brew for sure."

Jet blackness in color. A two fingerfoamy textured light beige head rising above. Some hang time on the head. Settles into a thin ringlet. Pretty straight forward. Chocolate profile. Some caramel. Full bodied and tar like.
