Great stout. A bouquet of coffee, toffee and chocolate. Not too syrupy but thick. An appreciated bitter finish. This has to rate up there with Rasputin and Shakespeare. I will have to have a new taste test to sort it out. If this stout is a choice, it's worth it. It manages to hold its own with whatever you are eating. To me, that is very important. Some stouts are corrupted by whatever else you are eating. This stout doesn't conflict.

I had it as a draft. Roasted malt nose. Its got alot of hops hidden by a rich coffee flavor. You can really feel the high ABV on this guy.
