This is a very aggressive dry stout. Dry stout often means bland, but this has a ton of roast and a bit of that ashy flavor that some coffee stouts end up with, but only a touch. Very tasty stout.

Apr 15, 2008 On tap. Pours fairly black with a nice head. We’ve got an oaty, dense nose with suggestions of chocolate, light coffee, and a tiny ashiness. The body is surprisingly creamy and smooth. I get bitter ash, velvety chocolate, oatmeal, and coffee. The finish is dry with an almost sour twinge. Very well done. What a delightful take on a session beer like this.

Apr 4, 2008 Appearance: Black body with a small, light tan head.
Smell: Aroma of roasted malts with full accents of coffee and Dutch chocolate.
Taste: Dry, roasted maltiness with a taste of unsweetened chocolate and coffee. Brief, and I do mean brief flashes of toffee and roasted nuts. Puff of smoke. The beer never offers much sweetness. Just a touch of faint sourness on the smokey, dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A solid dry stout, indeed!

very dry and roasted, lasting malt bitterness, not much different from the standard draft, hint of sweet caramel towards the bottom of the glass fills out the middle,

Jun 16, 2007 On tap at the brewpub in Alpharetta. Black as tar pour wiht a sticky frothy mocha colored head. Fresh fragrant aroma of espresso and dark chocolate. Chewy flavor with some roasty smoky notes, espresso, fresh earth and just a hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Overall, excellent and best of my session at their new location.
