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.

Dec 10, 2006 Aroma of roasted chocolate, coffee and some hint of orange. Iniitially only brown bubbles when pouring in the glas. It takes a few minutes for the bubbles to disappear, the a nice black stout appears with a frothy brown head. Taste is slightly sweet, and becomes more hopbitter towards the finish. Chocolate and some coffee malts, some rye and some orange. Dry finish. Quite a nice stout.

Dec 1, 2006 Bottle. Black with huge beige head. Licorice, tobacco and sweetness fills my nose. Flavour delivers what the aroma promises: Tobacco, chocolate and licorice. Nice though it lacks complexity.

Nov 29, 2006 Pours oily and near black with ruby hues and a thin foamy mocha head. Aroma of coffee, tires, bready roast, and smoke. Taste is bittersweet roasted malts, bready malts, and a faint hint of coffee and chocolate. Finishes dry and firm. Mouthfeel is full bodied and smooth with lush carbonation.

Nov 25, 2006 Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverages - 12 oz bottle. Black as night pour with a clingy but thin off-white head. The aroma has some licorice accents with a bit of coffee liquor - very pleasing. Dry and chalky flavor - but in a good way. Notes of coffee, bitter chocolate and a bit of light fruitiness. Mouthfel is slightly chalky, but thick. A very good solid, belly warming stout.

Nov 15, 2006 Deep rich brown hues. Roasted malts and almost undetectable coffee undertones. Quite thin for the way it smells. Lacks in body and mouthfeel. Bitter finish. Smells way better than it tastes.
