Enduring roasted coffee theme embitters hop-charred oats and chocolate-roasted grains. Dry powdered cocoa, dark chocolate, black cherry, and fig undertones counter acrid tar accrual at smoky mocha-malted finish of robust full body. Serve as a wintry nightcap.

Creamy ruby-velvet stout exerts burnt coffee bitterness over roasted mocha-nut dryness and resinous black chocolate serenade. Piney Cascade hops graze raw molasses acridity, dried fruit hesitance, acrid vegetative saunter, and increasing charcoal-tarred harshness to espresso-cappuccino-cocoa midst, clearing the way for lactic milk chocolate-y eruption.

Frothy, creamy, brawny stout pits intriguing blend of burnt coffee sourness and dark chocolate bitterness against counteractive burnt caramel sweetness. Well-developed oatmeal influence overtakes mid-palate, joined succinctly by roasted malt suggestion that seals the deal. Tenaciously robust and quite filling, exceeding expectations on all counts.

Nowhere near as thick as ‘crude’ moniker suggests while inconsistent tan bubbles above mahogany body seem shabbily arranged. But obliging roasted coffee theme registers above sturdy milk chocolate-y lactose and mocha-molasses maltose. Bittersweet hazelnut-butternut-Brazil nut vim, smoked meat whim, and burnt wood stint drape toasted oats bottom.

Brown-sugared cocoa-buttered burnt caramel sweetness provides lusty opening salvo to paramount stylistic icon. Bitter coffee bean stead reinforces off-dry hop toasting. Maple-sapped oats and roasted chestnuts neatly justify smoked chocolate-mocha malting. Ubiquitous espresso undercurrent surges above dramatic barleywine intrigue. Full-bodied and frothy like a creamy eclair, yet never thick, heavy or sinewy; goes down like silk. In a class by itself.

Earthen reddish-hued dark ale with moderate raisin-date tartness and superb hop-spiced barley-roasted oats-dried caramel malting defers stylistic mocha expectancy. Mellow, relaxing, and refined without becoming too sweet or overbearingly strong.

Fruited medium-bodied stout with cola-like flow softer and less assertive than expected. Lackadaisical coffee nut influence depletes weak mocha finish. Inconsequential berry nut meander lingers beneath.

Precluding fine bittersweet black chocolate frontage and remedial toasted oats follow-up, this deep mahogany-bodied, dark tan-headed lactose stout gets oily by meandering mocha-soured burnt coffee finish, sabotaging underlying dry hop roast, tobacco leaf hint, charred wood singe and floundering orange driblet.

Engagingly rich sweet stout retains black chocolate theme and milky creaminess countering lingered burnt coffee deepness rising above tobacco-hickory illusions. Persistent honeyed oats core gains better access as beer settles.

Indelible nitro-injected full body places thickly rewarding cappuccino creaminess above milky black chocolate density and toasted barley-oats foundation. Roasted hop char deepens tertiary walnut, anise, and tobacco chew illusions.

Flattish opening seems watery, lacking depth on initial impact. But mildly hop-embittered mahogany body picks up steam and never looks back. Bourbon-soaked milk chocolate, vanilla, and roasted coffee midst proves elegant. Delicate black cherry, espresso, walnut, and dark floral illusions settle beneath. Compelling bourbon whiskey finish seals the deal.

Caramel-burnt black chocolate sway enriches maple-sapped sweetness to butternut bottom as briskly citric-hopped water crisping softens flow. Recessive mocha finish picks up wood-charred oats-toasted buttering.
