Mar 23, 2008 Bottle at home.
Black like tar with a very large light brown head, fine lacings. Aroma moderate/heavy malty (roasted, burnt, licorice) and hoppy. Flavor moderate/heavy sweet and bitter. Light/medium body.

Mar 20, 2008 Pitch black with a dense grey head. Cocoa, chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma. The flavour is primarily bitter and full of liquorice. Yummi!

Mar 18, 2008 Color matches the black label with a very creamy, thick light brown head. Strong roasted aroma, lots of fresh ground coffee filling it out. Texture is a little thin. Nice roasted malty flavor at first. The middle gets a little creamy and settles into a flavorful bitter coffee finish. I’d like to see that creamy middle spread out a little more and bump up the body.

Mar 17, 2008 Pours a black with a frothy tall tan head. Chocolate, roast coffee and prunes in the nose. Coffee, cocoa, and molasses with some citric hops. Nice full mouthfeel and lingering finish. Very nice for St Paddy’s Day.

Mar 13, 2008 Somewhat disappointing. Pours nearly black with a thick tan head. Nice aroma of sweet chocolate and malt. Palate is a bit thin. The flavor starts smooth and sweet and finishes dry and bitter. I think there’s just a bit too much bitterness at the end. Not one of my favorite stouts.

Mar 11, 2008 Big? Roasty? Not really. Way too watery for me, thin and unimpressive. Good stuff going on, just way too little of it. Blackish with an OK head, some roast, some coffee, just too much water. Not a lot going on here.

Mar 8, 2008 A sweet chocolate armoa and a dark brown poor. At least 3 fingers of light brown head with lacing that remains throughout. The taste is slightly sweet and finishes with the hint of bitter dark chocolate and hops. A good stout that I would get again.

Mar 2, 2008 Was a typical stout with the typical flavors but made very well. Nice dark pour with a volupuious tan head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste was the same with a little more maltiness and a bit of burntness. Very smooth brew with a nice clean finish. I’ve had better stouts but this one was still real good. I deffinitely wouldn’t turn one down if it was offered to me.
