Sep 12, 2006 Just when I was losing faith in this brewery they throw batch 7000 my way and I must say it was worth the 17 dollars I paid for a six. Very strong nutty aroma, nice opaque black pour with a dark tan head. Nice malty flavor. This is one serious beverage my friends. I almost like this better than founder’s kentucky breakfast...almost.

Sep 11, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Brentfeesh: Poured a deep pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown head with minimal retention. Aroma of roasted malt is quite intense with some vanilla and coffee notes. Mouthfeel is very thick and enjoyable with nice roasted coffee notes; vanilla and mixed dry fruits such as figs and plums. Body is thick which fits perfectly the style with some limited carbonation. Another very good stout from this fine brewery.

Sep 6, 2006 Bottle. Pours very dark, with lots of coffee and chocolate aromas. Smooth taste, with a descent alcohol aftertaste. Solid brew

Aug 31, 2006 Updated: Dec 14, 2006Bottle. Pours to an opaque black, like motor oil, with a marathon of an aroma: espresso, semi-sweet chocolate, green apples, maple, more fruits covered in chocolate. The taste is very, very sweet, like sipping from snifters of bourbon and syrup at once, maybe just a tad too sweet until the hops arrive with a bang. So creamy, thick and succulent in the mouth...incredible. Finishes in a flash of woody, smoky brilliance. CHEERS.

Aug 29, 2006 Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Smells of biscuits, licorice, juniper, some mellow hops. Taste is chocolatey with a fair amount of roasted malt present.

Aug 27, 2006 Bottle. Deep dark brown in color with a nice thick tan head that left a nice lacing. Licorice and grainy aroma. Hoppy. Roasty hoppy flavor. Lots of hops. Chocolate notes. Finish is hoppy. Rich and creamy. Full bodied.

Aug 27, 2006 Bottle. Lasting brown head stits atop of a thick, black body. Aroma is anise and burnt grains. Taste is smoky and roasty but just a bit too bitter though. I like the creamy mouthfeel.

Aug 24, 2006 Updated: May 9, 2009Absolutely massive beer. Black pour with a firm, fluffy brown head. Aroma offers a lot in the way of sweet, roasty malts, melded with a subtle soy sauce finish, freshly cooked asian rice, rum, raisin. Quite tasty, with a succulent sweet finish, which is begat by dark, bitter chocolate, plums and soy. Very thick and welcoming, yet still drinkable. Delicious. I think this would do swimingly in oak.
