22 oz bottle thanks once again the awesome Bags. Served up in a snifter.

A: Hits the glass a jet black body. Held to the light, nothing gets through. No light, no lighten hues. Just glossy black and some dark brown carbonation movement just at the head. Speaking of the head, it is a dark mocha color and about one and a half fingers. This falls incredibly quick and remains at a very thin ring with wisps in the center. Little to no lace to report.

S: Nose is very faint but it is all roast. Lots of roasted malt character. Faint notes of cocoa and coffee. Everything is very muted, but pleasant.

T: Big shift from the nose. Roasted malts and huge oat/grain presence. Hearty. Rich and roasty coffee, nice a big presence. A nice touch of chocolate, dark and a little bitter. Touch of earthy hops peeks through from time to time. It is sweet, but not cloying or obscene. Very tasty.

M: Medium in feel in feel with a medium carbonation. At times, the beer has a bit of wateriness to it, but it doesn't really jack it up. Makes for a easy drinking stout experience. Zero alcohol to speak of. Aftertaste is all roasty malt and coffee.

OA: Damned drinkable stout. Lots of flavor. My only gripe is is the nose. I think if this beer had more of a nose and a bit heavier feel, people would be in a frenzy over this beer. Just damned tasty.
