blipp (556), Grand Island, New York, USA May 15, 2008 Cask. Pours black with a tan head. Soft roasted malt aroma with just a touch of coffee. Full, smooth body. Roasted malt flavor with coffee, caramel, brown sugar, and just a general sweetness. Nice. tagz (283), USA May 10, 2008 draft. black with little to no head. bold roasted flavors, medium body. dry, burnt grains, coffee like flavors, with a moderately sweet backbone (molasses). a nice stout. somewhat one dimensional, but the flavor and palate were solid. j_b (710), Rochester, New York, USA Jan 25, 2008 Pleasantly surprised to find this on tap at Rohrbach’s today. Very dark color, decent head, aroma is typical roasted + chocolate. The palate makes this one for me, very sweet, oily, burnt, sticky, with caramel, coffee, chocolate and an oily finish too. Well done. Beerded_one (1549), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2007 bottle sampled. Pours deep black in color with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, and a hint of chocolate. Flavor of coffee, molasses, hops, and some chocolate with a nice bitter finish. MrBeer (276), Erie, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 1, 2007 I usually like all stouts, but for some reason this one didn’t sit well with me. The flavor just wasn’t there for me.
