Nitro... Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, beige head. Terrific retention. Mocha aroma. The flavor is of coffee and chocolate. Moderately burnt and bitter. Lightly acidic. Medium-bodied and oily with soft carbonation. Finishes bitter, malty (caramel/toffee) and then dry.

Jun 4, 2008 I thought this was a really well done stout. Rich and creamy on the mouthfeel, with some bittersweet chocolate notes, and a hint of roasted coffee. Well rounded and not overly sweet. The strange thing is why this stout is not rated higher.

does not count  Apr 4, 2008 Poured black as night with a tan head. Aroma and taste of that second blessed drink, coffee. Mild, mild hint of chocolate. Palate was thin, lacking body.

Mar 16, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Has a roasted coffee and faint chocolate aroma. Taste is mildly roasted and sweet, seems a little thin but not bad overall.

Oct 3, 2007 A nice roasted/coffee aroma and taste that poured quite dark into the glass with a creamy, solid head.
