(bottle) Pours like motor oil with a brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and hints of mocha. Lots of carbonation, clashing with malts, strong cofee presence; unpleasant chalking taste. Slight bitter after taste thats relatively clean. Overated! Try their porter.
________________________________
I take back what I said! Turns out that the reason it tasted chalky is because I drank it out of mulike stein. Much better in an eglish pint. Very good sout. How could I actually consider that this brewery could make a bad stout! My apologies. My original review was a 2.9 overall.

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.
