COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION

Maltajo (329) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - SEP 8, 2009
3oz sample at the brewpub Downtown Chattanooga. Dark roasted brown pour with a nice head. Bold Coffee malt (like in Malta!) with a rich roasted flavor that stays with you! Great!

Avengedpoet (326) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - JUL 7, 2009
On tap at the brewery in Nashville. Black as night color. Aroma of dark roasted malts, burnt espresso. Taste is on the creamier side. Roastiness is a little acrid. Bitterness is firm and appropriate; well balanced. All around average stout.

Acknud (1024) - Morganfield, Kentucky, USA - JUN 21, 2009
On tap at Big River Grille, Nashville. This is the only decent beer of the batch I tried. Typical chocolate aroma and taste. Nothing that blows you out of the water but drinkable.

iride15 (236) - Rockledge, Florida, Florida, USA - APR 12, 2009
On tap Rock Bottom Charlotte. Dark brown almost black and thin cream head. Chocolate aroma. Light cream body. Dark malt flavor lacked for a stout. Poor attempt for a stout, and I’m a stout guy so this bothered me.

jimmay (807) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 8, 2009
On tap at Big River Grille, Nashville. Pours near black in colour, good head and lacing. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt, some hop presence, but not sweet, in my opinion. Nice stout.
