bitbucket (2027), Kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 27, 2007 Bottle courtesy of shigadeyo. Thanks Craig! Pours a translucent blackish brown with garnet highlights and a thin but lacy tan head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Light body and moderate carbonation. Vanilla and nutty espresso taste. Pine and burnt toast finish. adrian910ss (1395), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 17, 2007 Pours a cola black with a red tint and a small tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate with a hint of expresso. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly bitter dark chocolate with hints of malt and faint coffee beans. Not bad, not great. jarspag (593), Los Angeles, California, USA Apr 16, 2007 Bottled.
I need to learn to stay away from these dry stouts . . . they just bore me. Having said that, this one was just okay, too burnt, watery, and dry of a finish for me. Sweet name though.... Alldaydrinker (557), Norwood, Massachusetts, USA Apr 15, 2007 Poured into a pint glass with a nice thick frothy soft tan head with a dark colour. Aroma is of chocolate, malts and hint of coffee. Has a decent lacing and lasting head. Flavour is malty, palate filled with chocolate, hint of fruits and finishing with bitter hops that remains constant on the palate. A very enjoyable dry stout. BeerBlockaid (538), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Apr 15, 2007 pitch black colour, small coffee head....Have been weened away from stouts for a while and this wasn’t really calling me back. Bitter and just bland, but at the same time smooth. Small amounts of burnt rubble and chocolate and some notes of some sweet toffee. Someone salty. emerica56 (575), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Apr 14, 2007 This beer has a no head when poured out and is really dark in color. The flavor is very clocolaty and nutty and has a good after taste with nice creamy taste that slides down your throat. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Apr 14, 2007 Pours a beautiful ruby-hued black with a frothy tan head. Smells of burnt coffee, chocolate, toffee. Creamy, milky, but a little thin on the palate. Super-malty, perfectly carbonated, easy drinking stout. Chocolate and woody notes are apparent, too. Nice bitter hops that are dying in the finish. Exellent example of the style. beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Apr 12, 2007 12 oz bottle-Poured black w/a moderate tan head which hung around for a while. Nice roasted malt aroma. Solid stout, good crisp roasted malt flavor w/a bit of a smoked overtone to it. More coffee flavor than chocolate. Mouthfeel was a little thin; had a little more carbination than most Stouts. Long dry finish, kind of bitter.
