Commendable flesh-headed mahogany-bodied ‘import-export’ stout utilizes Irish ale yeast and Belgian chocolate to propel robust full body. Creamy dark-roasted chocolate entry picks up immediate cocoa-chalked hazelnut coffee resilience and unexpected floral fruited frolic for rounded mouthfeel. Beneath, tar-like tobacco-stained wood-charred bittering seeps into vanilla-espresso conflux and docile blueberry-pureed black cherry rasp.

Frothy brown chocolate-vanilla creaminess rises above hop-oiled walnut toasting and tannic grape tartness. Roasted Brazil nut, cola nut, and macadamia illusions sharpen bittersweet mocha-influenced black cherry-pureed backdrop.

Amiably smooth tan-headed brown-bodied milkshake-like dessert treat nowhere near as ferociously heady as beastly name implies. A tad watery for ‘luscious chocolate stout’ status, but truly rewarding as moderate-bodied crossover for dark lager stylists. Mildly creamed brown chocolate-y cocoa bean sweetness lingers above recessive espresso coffee bittering. Ashen hop-charred roast dryly counters oncoming vanilla-sugared toffee dalliance.

Boozy 10% alcohol Russian Imperial pours like mud. Tarry pine char and sticky anise nearly overwhelm bittersweet hop-roasted black chocolate expectancy and smoky black-malted coffee roast. Penetrating vanilla creaminess, pervasive tar-like molasses sinew and cocoa-chalked burnt caramel richness given coarsely nutty imminence. Strong port-dried bourbon-burgundy-sherry finish increases its compact complexity.

Bottled versions’ surfeit milk chocolate creaminess and heavy lactose resonation invite bittersweet cappuccino elegance to counter molasses-thick vanilla-butterscotch richness. Wavered black pepper spicing simmers below. In tin can, skanky mocha waft, frothy Guinness-like head, and soft watered texture beat down black chocolate essence of firm English draught-styled stout.

Terra-cotta-like earthen grains disappointingly coarsen and overwhelm black chocolate smear, burnt coffee sneer, and cocoa powdered drear of dry maroon-hued astringency. Roasted hops bring tertiary charred wood, resinous ash, and tar illusions, but gaseous carbolic aridity vacates up-front mocha tonguing.

Robust mahogany-hued full body brings polite cocoa bean bittering to cream-sugared coffee midst. Roasted hop-charred black chocolate distention latently burrows ashen cola-hazelnut slip, mild chicory clip, and pleated anise snip.

Creamy chocolate richness softened by smooth water texture and amiable hop touch. Exceedingly clean light-bodied stout offers modest change of pace. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Robust, black-hued, cocoa-headed dry stout with sweet ‘n’ sour dark chocolate concentration given transitory oatmeal dalliance and spritzy hop flow gently backed by contagious mocha mildness, fleeting sticky maple stint, and prim nutmeat thickness. A chocolate pudding substitute.

Extremely rich dry-bodied mahogany stout serenades penetrative grains, sugared oats, burnt caramel, and maple sap with lingered coffee roast to subtly bitter smoked finish, hiding heavy alcohol content for less restrictive novices.

Impressive Belgian-styled 10th anniversary celebrator slurs collars of tan spume across glass above proud mahogany hue. Lactic malt-smoked cocoa-powdered souring boosts creamy dark chocolate froth and latent cappuccino luster. Hop-roasted burnt coffee skulk advances as cinnamon-teased vanilla spicing, dry fig-date slink, and hazelnut tinge crimp cherry cordial wisp.
