Pours a pitch black with a lovely thick tan head with decent retention and a fair bit of lacing. Aroma is very interesting - dusty, earthy roots (maybe mushroom?) and chocolate malt. Tastes quite nice, lots of chocolate and lightly kilned coffee, swimming in thick, rich milk. Tastes like a cold mocha-latte. Touch of hops in the finish, fusel notes. Delicately carbonated (small bubbles) and very thick and creamy, although it leaves very little in the finish. I really like this beer, probably the closest to a milk stout that I’ve ever had. Not exactly balanced, but plenty interesting, and well-executed.

Chocolate and roast malt aroma. Rich creamy body. Moderately bitter and slightly sour with coffee chocolate and roast coming through in the finish

does not count  Jul 3, 2008 Pours a very silky black, with a very nice head. Very sweet aroma, almost coffee? Taste is sweet and a mildly smokey. A great beer for its style

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a nice black color with a thin to normal tan head. Aroma is very sweet, chocolate, and some java notes. Flavor is also very sweet, is much like the description, a sweeter, less bitter/dry kalamazoo stout.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a dark iodine color with thin mocha head. Sweet roasted chocolatey coffee notes with thick, syrupy and very smooth mouth feel. Good to great stout.

Jun 30, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with a small, light brown head. Smells like a lighter Kalamazoo. Aroma is lightly sweet chocolate, espresso, and caramel. Taste is good, very creamy, the start is light chocolate, and turns a little bitter sweet as it finishes with some coffee. I guess I was expecting a little more.
