mmmbeer (603), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 19, 2008 22 oz. bottle in trade from Snojerk321-thanks! Served in pint glass- poured non transparent when held to light black, low carbonation with tiny bubbles, tan ring around the glass for a head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, darkened caramel, and roasted malt. Hits the mouth with a wide body, malt has a smoke quality to it which makes it just that much more enjoyable, some cream in the middle, finish is bitter and slowly fades away. Nice, very nice.
nbutler11 (305), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Dec 3, 2008 Pours black with an amber tint from the tap at the brewery with a tan head. Loaded with cocoa, mild coffee, and wood chips. Tasty. fidel (314), Livermore, California, USA Nov 27, 2008 Dark brown, creamy, coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, little dark fruits, dry finish. zappafan99 (351), Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA Nov 26, 2008 Taste 11/8 Bottle. Opaque Black thin heavy head. Aroma: Coffee, Chocolate and toasted malt. Taste: A little smoke, toasted malt, mild chocolate, a light dark fruit sweetness. Not a dry stout, but leans that direction. AgentSteve (928), SF Bay Area, California, USA Nov 26, 2008 Nice attractive deep cola brown pour with a thick, smooth tight bubbled head. The nose is rich with coffee and chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is quite the same, and quite enjoyable. Very smooth and clean dry finish. timsilvia32 (286), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Nov 20, 2008 Nice dark brown/black pour with a cream colored head. Earthy roast malt aromas. Tastes similarly with coffee and mocha tones. Solid medium body. Slight creaminess. Finish a little smokey with nice coffee and hop bitterness. Well balanced and drinkable. One of the best examples of the style I’ve had in a while.
