Pours black with a fluffy tan head that features red highlights. Has a bitter chocolate and dark fruit aroma. Taste is chocolate and coffee with a hint of currant. Nice long finish with more notes of currant. The notes of currant set this one apart from alot of stouts. Would drink again.

Aug 29, 2008 On tap at Ballast Point during the RBSG Pub Crawl Tour on 08/01/2008. Big black body with a medium creamy light brown head. Big chocolate and caramel with some roast. Roasty and caramel flavor. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle: (Thanks MaxxDaddy!) Near black pour with brown at the edges and a creamy tan head. The aroma is tarry with chocolate syrup, and salty licorice. Flavor is salty as well. Dark/bitter chocolate, licorice, underlying sweet boozy notes (almost reminiscent of rum) with an espresso like finish. A bit too salty, but still decent.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle from JW77. Thanks man!
Pours a nice black with short lived dark light tan head. Smell is soy sauce, followed by roasted malt. Taste is soy sauce, chocolate and roasty malt. Overall taste borders moreso on the soy flavor component and some sharp almost acidic maltiness. Prickly carbonation. Doesn’t do a lot for me, but its drinkable. So so...

Aug 13, 2008 Nice aroma, good roast with a fair saltiness and oyster. Flavor is light, a touch of roast, slightly lactic, slight alcohol. A bit muddy and grassy. Not too exciting, lacks body and definition.

Aug 6, 2008 From tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours dark brown to black with a light redish glare and a lacing off-white head. Roasted and fruity aroma. Flavour is hard roasted malt but also mild acidic to citric fruity flavour. Ends with a mild roasted and acidic fruity finish. Lovely.
