bottle, batch 7475. pours pretty much opaque black, with a thinnish light brown head that fades to a film. strong smell of coffee and roasted malts, backed up by notes of cocoa, molasses, and raisins. more roasty coffee in the taste, a bit of bread, some black cherry, and more coffee. the flavor lasts forever. pleasant coffee bitter palate that lasts forever with a hint of light sweetness in the beginning. creamy, silky mouthfeel, with a medium to full body. this stuff is terrific. i can’t get enough.

Oct 9, 2008 Nice dark color, easy going head smells a bit sweet, and musty.
What a great chocolate / bettersweet chocolate and a lite to lite mild roasted coffee lingering finish.
I like this stout because it’s poundable.
Very clean and great lingering flavor that makes you want more.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle from my Bell’s variety pack... mmm... it had been a while since I first tried this one... deep and dark, brown foam... coffee & chocolate subtle aroma... taste of coffee, chocolate and a little sweet, maybe the molasses... I hate licorice, but this was perfect.. Don’t let the licorice description deter you from trying...

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle Chris O’s. Pours a thick dark ebony with a small off whitish head. Aroma: Rich and roasted ground coffee beans, bitter dark chocolate, slight charred carbon and alcohol. Flavour: good mothfeel that sticks to the back of your throat lingeing dark bitter choclate and coffee with some toffee and liquoirce to finish. Would prefer a little more body and creaminess but would drink again.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle at chris_o’s pre beerexposed tasting. Alround rating: Roasty, thin, not really much going on, pritty boring stuff and not really my style. I cannot see for the life of me how this could get such a high rating.

Oct 6, 2008 Delicious stout, big chocolate flavor up front, roasty and smooth, with a dry bitter chocolate finish. Slight scent of licorice, lingering coffee notes in the finish. Pours black with a smooth brown head. Just really well built in every way.
