 GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
Nov 12, 2006 Pours midnight brown w/ a medium sized, semi creamy, spattered froth thats recedes to a few small island clusters. Aroma of sweet malted cocoa and roasted walnut shells. Medium nectar w/ mellow residual effers. Big roasted til blackened flavors up front w/ a strong bittering disposition. Moderately malty w/ typical flavors of tar, espresso, roasted cocoa, and coffee bean. The finish is strongly bittered. Overall: a highly roasted dry stout w/ some strong bittering. Not for the faint of heart. Tastes nothing like it smells.

Nov 9, 2006 Bottle. Beautiful black pour with a creamy brown head. Essentially opaque, just barely peeking out from the bottom is a splash of ruby. Lace is magnificent. Strong roasty nose with a some lactose and chocolate. Strong roasted flavor, very dry and bitter, medium body, bone-dry roasty finish. Light hops begin somewhere in the middle and keep at it. Body is skinny and lifeless, but the taste is addictive and the lasting sour-dry bitterness is memorable. Pretty good stout, but not earth-shaking.

Nov 7, 2006 12 oz bottle pours a brown-black witha big fluffy head that collapses leaving a patchwork of lacing. The aroma was weak chocolate and roast as was the flavor. Thin bodied both sweet and sour with a bitterness that was overdone. Unexciting and barely average.

Oct 29, 2006 Bouteille de 12 oz par HogTownHarry. Brun très foncé, peu de collet avec un peu de dentaile. Arome de malte roti avec un peu de cassonade. Goût aussi amère que la Guinness, mais pas mal plus de malte.

Oct 27, 2006 Bottle. Not quite shear black like many Stouts, more of a deep brown. Bunch of roast smell, taste and finish in this one. Nice hoppiness at the end. I like roasty stouts, so I like this one.

Oct 26, 2006 Bottle. Very, very dark brown with a slight head that fades to the edges. I’m kind of torn on this one flavor-wise. There’s a bit too much roasted character in it for me, but the hop character in the finish is great. Overall an average stout.

Oct 26, 2006 Had it bottled at Old Chicago Pizza in Aurora, CO. Very dark color, little to no foam, lighter aroma than I would expect. Decent taste, rather smoky and burnt. Not bad, not the greatest.
