Aug 25, 2009 Pours black with medium brown head. Not much aroma, but a bit of chocolate. Full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, graham cracker, and coffee. The alcohol is completely hidden. Really good stout.

Aug 24, 2009 Like most stouts from a bottle there was no great apperance here. However the taste is what wins this beer marks. Had a roasted coffee, chocolate taste. One of the nicer bottled stouts on the market from an excellent local brewery.

Aug 22, 2009 Beer gets low marks for appearance, what was there of the head only appeared after some agitation, black liquid with ruby highlights, not much in the way of lace.
Smell is heavy malt, toffee, chocolate, a small hint of concentrated vanilla. No sign of alcohol or roasted malt.
Taste is altogether another story, quite good and difficult to explain. Tobacco, chocolate is very light, kind of creamy on the mouth. Thick, but bubbly.
I could chalk up the appearance to the pour, which I thought was good enough, but maybe an outside factor is influencing this, because other than that, this is a world class brew.

Jul 17, 2009 Pour out of bottle into glass. Looks and smells great. Doesn’t taste like it smells, much milder, almost watered down. Easy to drink, slightly chocolate bitter finish. Too watery for a stout for me.
