Dark as night before the dawn, for some Convict Hill is the ultimate breakfast beer, for others it is the logical end to a perfect evening. Both are right, for just as coffee, oats, and chocolate are the start of a fine day, the same applies at day’s end. Whatever the time, Convict’s creamy head, rich chocolaty malts, robust roasted barley, and smooth oaty finish will set your palate free.

At my son's house watching Saturday college football. Having an Austin Texas Stout my son-in-law sent home to me.
Very high and very thick, frothy head. Heavy as pie meringue. Opaque brown color. Strong roasted coffee aroma. Medium texture and dry. Strong deep roasted coffee that's a little over the top. Almost a burnt bitterness. No sweetness at all. Flavor continues through the finish with a tiny breath of dark chocolate and the bitterness developing a pithy quality.
The roasted quality was too burnt and the oatmeal softness was weak. Minor adjustments could make a vast improvement.
