Jan 1, 2007 Now thats an amazing brew! Pitch black colour. Roasted malts and chocolate in the aroma. Flavour of good chocolate and coffee, hoppy. Long aftertaste.

Dec 30, 2006 12 oz. bottle. served cold. pours black with a very thin tan colored head that quickly fades, leaving only a slight ring around the edges of the glass. aroma is very strong: roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. taste is more coffee than chocolate. and a slight sharpness/bite at the tail end. a pretty good stout.

Dec 26, 2006 Loots of coffee, and malt. Seemed a little too carbonated for my buds. Has a roast taste too it at the end of your sip

Dec 26, 2006 Typical Colors, but a lot more roast and chocolate in the aroma. Very well ballanced and very full bodied until the end when it somehow feels like it dies in your mouth. A fantastic stout, but nothing I haven’t expireinced before.

Dec 23, 2006 Pours dark brown to nearly black with a big bubbled though not quite loose sizeable tan head, dissipating quickly. The nose is dead on dry stout. Roasty, a touch lactic, a bit of a floral sort of English hop. No discernible sweetness. The palate is about where it should be for the style. Not too thick, not too thin, not a lot of carbonation, but as it doesn’t strike a chord with me, it’s hard to put it over the average. The flavors really shine on this brew though. A very light sweetness is cut by a roastiness and and an acidity. There’s some coffee, but really no charcoal. There’s some floral hops up under that roast, to really round this out and make the flavors bright. This beer demonstrates rather well how the style can be so unbalanced, and still entirely drinkable. The finish is roast with some lactic tasting slightly acidic points. The finish is straight up coffee (not the gourmet stuff, but a strong cup of joe). This really one ups Guinness.

Dec 23, 2006 This beer looks nice- very dark with a thin-medium brown head. It smells rich and chocolatey, which I like. Lots of roast in the flavor. Dry finish with some hops. Its simple but very enjoyable.

Dec 18, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a smallish tan colored head. Aroma roasted malt, chocolate. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malts, some coffee. Palate is medium at best, mildly carbonated, dry finish. So-so.

Dec 12, 2006 12 oz. bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Pours an opaque black with a big, creamy tan head with lots of staying power. The aroma, which I thought was a tad light, was pleasant nonetheless with roasted malt and chocolate noted. The flavor followed the aroma with a decent hop kick on the back end. Dry finish. A very solid beer.
