Deep black, black black, with a dark brown thick head on it. More head than the BCS has. First off, this is a great beer,

Take the bourbon away from the BCS, add more hops and you have this beer. Thick and chewey, with a long, long finish. Chocalate. The hops do a nice job of cutting through the maltiness and alcohol. On the nose the hops are definitely in the forefront, and much more apparent than in the BCS. while the alcohol is sort of hidden (I don't know how much you can do to hide 12% abv), this still comes off a little boozy. Not as boozy as the BCS, but still boozy. In a good way.

I'm going to have to round somebody up to do a side by side comparison with the BCS and the NIghtstalker with me, maybe throw a KBS in there as well just for giggles. A stout off
Man Vic! That sounds good!
I'm gonna have to hunt a nightstalker down now... I think I saw it at the store Friday and passed it up.
