Nice stout. Great head & nice aftertaste. Somewhat yeasty-mellow flavor for a stout.

Nitro @ Cafe. Very dark in color upon pouring. Quite roasted and malty. This stout is on the bitter side, with a lot of roasted coffee.

Sample at the Rancho Dr brewpub. This beer is a dark brown color with a thin and creamy beige head that dissipates steadily. Sheet of lacing. Light malt and roasted coffee aroma. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet malt, roasted coffee and subtle hops. The finish is watery and short with roasted malt and cocoa flavor falling off quickly. Below average overall.

12-1-07 tap. <br /> Very light, watery roasted aroma. Bland and un-stout like. Nice black thickness and okay head. Very watery and seems like a very weak, poor brown to me.

on tap-pours a nice cascading, retaining, light brown head with lots of lacing and black color. Aroma is dark malt-molasses/coffee, some acidity. Taste is dark malt-molasses/coffee, some acidity, faint hops. Smooth. Nice, but not my style.

Draught into pint glass at the brewery. Rather odd stout, it seemed upside-down. Instead of chocolate and coffee with hints of hop, it was strong hop with hints of bittersweet chocolate in the finish. Not bad, just an odd stout.
