Coffee. Chocolate. Smooth. Great tasting stout. Consistently great every time.
Aromas of cappuccino latte mocha coffee toffee black malts brown sugar licorice and roasted malts. Taste is strong toffee coffee black malts roasted malts burnt biscottii vanilla campfire ash charcoal and espresso beans. Overall, quite nice with a large charred malt character.
Bottle. It poured a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma was of chocolate, vanilla and malts. The taste was similar to the aroma with more chocolate, vanilla, malts, caramel with medium carbonation and a nice chewy aftertaste. Nice.
5oz taster sample at Pinthouse Pizza, Austin, Texas. Very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, sweet syrup. Taste of milk chocolate, sweet syrup, dark fruits, roasted malts. Quite sweet. Silky mouthfeel. ABV well hidden. Pretty good but perhaps less tempting than I thought she would be.
Sweet and malty with chocolate overtones. This is the best milk stout I’ve had. Possibly because it’s the first imperial version I’ve come across. I’m very pleasantly surprised. Good mouthfeel. Zero alcohol burn, which is impressive in a 9.1ABV brew. Nice dark brown head, but quicker to dissipate than I expected. Overall a great beer for the style.
Excellent stout on tap. Sweet and malty. Made an excellent beer for desert.
On tap at the DFW Flying Saucer. Pours black, with a small, tan head. The aroma is heavy roast, walnuts, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Sweet and sugary, with a nice, mellow, sharp bitterness. Heavy body, with a syrupy, crisp mouthfeel. Pretty quality.
Tap at Scruffy Duffies in Plano, TX. This was terrific. Dark pour, smooth, sweet, lactose, creamy, mild coffee. Good stuff.

Draft. Dark with a tan head and lacing. Chocolate and dark fruit aroma. It has a heavy abv content. As it warms the abv mellows. The taste has a creaminess on the back end.
On tap at The Draft Bar & Grill in Arlington, TX. Black appearance with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel/toffee, mild coffee, mild roasted malt and light milk sugar. Similar flavor, adding moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Medium to full body with a smooth feel and a creamy finish.
Shared 12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, roasted malt. Taste is milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, roasted malt, lactose. Finish is sweet.
Aroma: rich and roasty with a little caramel; Appearance: pitch black with thin creamy white head; Taste: odd. Bitter offnotes with lots of roastiness and a sweet finish; Palate: heavy body with short finish; Overall: can appreciate it but don't like it.
(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, lactose, molasses, and caramel. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, lactose, and caramel with a moderately dry finish.
Excellent flavor. Controlled sweetness.
12 oz bottle. Bottled on 01/27/17. Thanks Timo A!
Black color, tiny tan head.
The aroma is vanilla, roasted malt, sweetness and mild ash.
The flavor is roasted malt, sweetness, tobacco and ashy notes.
Whenever I feel like splurging, I get a temptress on tap. It's rich, full flavored, tastes like heaven, and gets you drunk. All the qualities I look for in a woman
Dark black pour, aroma of milk chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, hint of dark fruit... Flavor is chocolate, dark fruits, chicory, light spices and pepper.. delicious
Tulip at City Tavern. Aroma is lactose and mild chocolate. Black with brown highlights and minimal cola head. Smooth milk hides the alcohol. Finished very dry. Moderate roast and bitter.
(Bottle) clear, bright dark amber colour with a medium tall brown head; aroma of roast, stewed fruit, soy sauce;thick palate; balanced flavour with a long, medium strong bittersweet finish
Keg at Ginger Man, Plano. Black, rich creamy head. Chocolaty nose with vanilla and caramel. Very sweet with full body and rounded, sticky mouthfeel. Cream and milk chocolate with caramel and treacle. Warming finish. A very sweet and voluptious, Texan size, temptress.
12 oz. bottle served in a shaker- poured a 7500 mile motor oil before it was finally changed (and it’s regular oil, not synthetic), solid black when held to a light source. Thin tan ring about the vessel for a head but did lace to some degree. Aroma of a roasted malt, molasses, and all the good things in life. Hits the with a wide body, malt was nicely roasted to the point of it almost being burnt- but that’s just skill or luck right there, lactose quality in the middle (to be expected), finish is creamy and sticky. good beer!
Tasted at Midland On Tap from a 12oz. bottle. It was served a inky black body and yielded no head to speak of. I smelled molasses and tasted dark toast, dark chocolate and a sweet finish, a fruity brown sugar. Carries through with a slight bitterness. Best I had today.
Draft. Medium tan head atop clear dark brown body. Aroma is moderately sweet, milk chocolate, some caramel, oatmeal, roast. Taste is moderately sweet, chococaramel, some alcohol warming, earthy. Medium body, some stickiness.
A bit sweet, IMO. Nice mouth feel, aroma of roasted malts. I would prefer a bit dryer.
From a bottle. Sweet biscuit aroma, the ABV is well hidden, super smooth with mild bread finish.
Bottle. Dark brown. Aroma of oats, soy sauce, fruit, lactic sugar. Caramel and milky sweetness, with oats, booze, and vanilla.

Pours dark brown/black with lasting medium brown lacing. Aroma is carmel and chocolate. Taste is smooth carmel with a warm finish.
