REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured black into a pint glass. Frothy tan head with virtually no lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Traditional roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate to start, then a second wave featuring citrus hop. Oats, chocolate, and coffee pop again on the aftertaste. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Slight dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Stout. Big fan of the roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee here, mixed with some familiar citrus hop presence. Full-flavored and delicious. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
