One of the best you can get.

Heavy but not to overbearing, thick, but finishes well. No lingering after taste.

Wow, did that have flavor. It was so thick and black when I poured it. Virtually no head or aroma, though. It tasted good but I couldn't finish it in 2 hours. It was just too much.

Top 2 Stouts of all time

Dark, thick and rich. Sweet with nice chocolatey notes. Strong but without the overpowering hoppiness that most imperials have.

Strong rich flavor. Nice thick dark head. Coffee flavor. Enjoyable.

Need to acquire a taste. Good after dinner drink.

Wow. Reminds me of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (BCS). Not as good of course but makes me wonder how it will age. It oozes out of the bottle. Rich. Toffee notes. Carmel head.

A typical founders stout. Very strong, but reasonably tasty. Not something I'd seek out again, but decently okay

Almost no aroma until it warms. When it does, aroma of chocolate and maybe a little toffee? Taste screams chocolate with some toasty notes on the way down. Little to no hop flavor or aroma. Thicker than average mouthfeel, slight tan head when served in a snifter
