This black and opaque stout combines nine different specialty malts, which provide a dominant malt flavor with caramel and chocolate like notes. Served on an English hand pump, the full bodied, medium hopped stout is rich and creamy, low in carbonation and extremely mellow and smooth.

Not bad. Comes across a little on the thin side, even for the style, but the flavor and aroma of roasted malts, coffee, and cholcolate were pretty well done. Served via cask.

By far one of my all-time favorite stouts (a.k.a. Old Goat's Stout). Only available off the tap at the San Marcos Brewery & Grill, and they normally don't even do take-home growlers of the much-prized (and award winning) black nectar.
Black as a moonless night, with only minute hints of red in the body when held to the light. White foam, thin as an old dime, resting on top. Hints of oatmeal in the aroma, like grandma used to make by hand early Sunday mornings. Minimal hopping in the aroma, with perhaps just the tinniest wiff of Northern Brewer, or Northdown.
What makes this beer special, though, is that while it may look like it might be akin to drinking blackened liquid lead, but is in fact incredibly drinkable, and quite light on the palate for the style. No need for any "drinking motor oil-related" jokes here -- the Pale Ale and ESB your friends are drinking are probably heavier than this 1.052 OG beauty.
Highly recommended.

Black with hye acorn color head. Musty thick oatmeal slight coffee aroma. Lots of oatmeal influenced coffee in the body with a little too much watery background.

This stout pours with a very dark red-brown body topped by a thick, tan head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and malty with a very slight roastiness. A pretty boring aroma. The flavor, however, is pretty nice. Roasty coffee notes flood the taste buds. It has a nice sweetness underneath and a nice creaminess. I would have another based on the tase alone. Full bodied and smooth.
