DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Jul 25, 2007 Pours black as night with a two finger khaki head that dissapated quickly.lots of coffee and chocolate aroma. Flavor is full on day old cold coffee in all its bitterness.Finish was hoppy, bitter and semi dry. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Jul 24, 2007 bottle - Pours very dark brown to black with a huge tan head. This one took a long time to pour. The aroma is roast malt and chocolate. The flavor is more roast malt with light chocolate notes and high bitterness for a stout. It’s full bodied and seems very carbonated for a thick stout. The finish is dry and bitter. GonZoBeeR (2155), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Jul 23, 2007 Aroma:chocolate nose,light fudge...

Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jul 22, 2007 Dark brown body body, ruby tinges around the edges, under a puffy cocoa head, plenty of lacing, rocky, looking good for a stout.
Aroma is sweet and roasty, lots of espresso notes, nuts, chocolate...nougat, caramel...it’s a candy bar, nearly, more I sniff it...toffee! Me like!
Taste: just right. Full bodied, big on board the palate, bittersweet, tart yet again chocolatey, very cocoa-licious! Hmmm, mmm!
Quite satisfying, full flavored, with huge hops, tempered by roasty chocolate malts...mmm, mmm...I quite like it.
Eckato (89), St. Petersburg, Florida, USA Jul 19, 2007 Poured from bottle...first reaction to the aroma is wow!!!! Very roasted and bold. The tan head is great with nice lacing and staying power. Smell reminds me of roasted coffee and chocolate and beckons to a camp fire. The flavor is one to knock you over...very tasty and full...chocolate....Mmmmm...this is a bold and thick beer...Very tastey. DrHomolka (726), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jul 19, 2007 12 oz bottle pours black with a tan head. Aroma is strong, roasty chocolateness that smells great. Like a Guinness on steroids. Smooth, rich, creamy, full bodied taste that’s still very drinkable. Bitter chocolate. Roasted malts. This is very good. Another good beer from Avery and one of the best I’ve had in the style. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jul 16, 2007 Dark black color. Smell of coco, caramel, malt, hops, roasted coffee and toffee. Taste of hops, malt, coffee and very dry at the end. Way too bitter and not that flavorful. Watery and not that very good.
