This beer pours black with little head to speak of. The aromas are chocolate with some hints of coffee...almost a burnt syrup aroma. The flavor is very smooth with big hits of chocolate. There are some definite coffee and caramel flavors. The coffee flavor is the one that seems to linger the longest. The body is medium-heavy with medium carbonation. This is a good sweet stout!

Oct 11, 2008 Much drier than most sweet stouts I’ve had - still it’s an amazing, smoky concoction that has notes of chocolate, smoke, sesame and a very light coffee touch. Creamy and sweet on the finish - yet dry in the mouthfeel.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle @ Maproom. Pours very dark blackish, with a great head and great lacing. Smells of coffee, prunes, dark chocolate, cognac, and licorice. Tastes very roasty and creamy malty. Finishes very smooth, with a creamy, roasty flavor. Very bold and a very nice beer, just not as good as an imperial but probably the best sweet stout I’ve had.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours dark brown with a quickly dissapating tan head. Aroma is of toasty malts, caramel, dairy creamer, and some weak coffee. Taste is malts and hints of chocolate complimented by coffee and a lingering creamy sweetness. Very creamy mouthfeel, but a tad too watery. It’s good, without being overly unique.

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle - batch 8150; thanks to kryptic (BA) for the trade; milky brown with thin tan head; smooth, creamy texture; milk chocolate, vanilla, cookies; very nice and an easy drinker; perhaps a little unfair to drink next to the 7000, but a stellar beer on its own
