Aug 2, 2008 Poured from a 12-oz bottle dark black with no head. This is a nice thick beer. Smell of rich roasted coffee, caramel and mollases. Taste is similar, with also some chocolate notes coming through. Alcohol bite in the finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Hit in you in the face beer. Sipping beer. Worth trying, very heavy. Good body and tones of black patent.

Jul 27, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours opaque black with a medium brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruit, some sweetness, black licorice, a bit of soy sauce. Taste is roasty coffee, dark chocolate, sweet. After a couple more sips, some more dark fruit flavors come out. Smooth, creamy palate. Roasty bitter finish with a little hop presence. Nice strong lacing. I had this a few times before I started rating, but don’t remember it being this amazing.

Jul 25, 2008 Updated: May 11, 2009Black with small beige head. Nose has coffee, vanilla, and a significant alcohol. The roast comes through huge in the flavor, with more coffee, slight chocolate, and alcohol. Though salty and oppressive, this one is a little vinous. While it’s really good, there are more complex and balanced IS out there.

Jul 22, 2008 12oz bottle in snifter. Most viscosity of any beer I’ve experienced, tar colored with slight formation of head dissipating in moments. Aroma of some old bananas, some smoky woody hints. Immediate hit of robustness enveloping entire palate, some dark chocolate, woody pine flavors. The flavor fads into a strong tar taste, charcoal, deep bruising bitterness. The attack on the palate prevents further complexity to surface. Aging this may render something more beautiful.

Jul 22, 2008 Phenomenal beer! It had a thick texture, with almost a semi-sweet chocolate taste, and slightly burnt. I really loved it.

Jul 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice black color with a creamy brown head. Aroma is mainly chocolate, a little coffee, and some spicy hop notes. Flavor is chocolate and ends somewhat bitter. Hides the alcohol and warms very, very well. Great beer!

Jul 20, 2008 This is a very good stout! It pours a dark black with a creamy brownish tan head that is almost nonexistent. The aroma smells of dark chocolate with notes of chicory and the chocolate malty sweetness. The flavor is the same chocolate, malt, some slight alcoholic sweet notes and a slightly dry finish. For the price it is on par with World Wide Stout, but WW has a smoother finish. Great example of the style, and a solid beer. Great beer for #200.
