Jul 24, 2006 Updated: Aug 1, 2006Interesting. The flavor of this one doesn’t quite match the mouthfeel. It is very dark and roasty, but thin on the palate. I think I’ll need another bottle to be sure.

Jul 16, 2006 12oz bottle, no date. Pours a deep red brown with a large tan head. Aroma of big roasty malts, some coffee, dirt (not in a bad way), slight pine. Pretty bitter, though I can’t quite tell if it’s from the big roasty malts or the hops. Dry bitter coffee finish. A bit thin on the mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. Good brew.

Jul 16, 2006 Bottle shared with and courtesy of Jerc. Pitch black, huge aero chocolate bar like bubbly head - looks perfect. Really nice soft chocolate aroma - milk chocolate, not dry baker’s chocolate. Oily. Really nice. Wow, tons of roast in taste - where did that come from, it wasn’t in the aroma! Lots of chocolate as well, but this taste is dominated by dry roast, with a body not quite big enough to hold it all in check. Still, this is a very good stout - it was nice to have something this flavorful in a stout that wasn’t 8-10%!

Jul 15, 2006 Bottle. Black body with a good sized creamy head. Mild chocolate roast aroma is pleasant. (7+). Very dry, bitter roast flavour with chocolate notes. The roast is a bit much for my tastes at times. Medium palate (3+). Solid stout.

Jul 3, 2006 Tasted in Toronto, ontained on trip to Boulder Colorado. Tasted in dimple mug. Appearance is dark brown / black, thin tan coloured head. Aroma of Irish breakfast tea, pungent with hints of earthy coffee, and roasted malt. Flavour is smooth and not as sharp as other beers of this stryle. More of a creamy coffee espresso taste, much like Mill St. coffee porter, nice and subtle.

Jul 3, 2006 Pours black with thin light brown head. Great aroma of chocolate brownies, coffee and molasses. Silky smooth flavor of chocolate, and some nice grain malt to keep the sweetness in check. Very nice stout.
