Jun 20, 2009 On tap at the tasting room. The lightest beer they make. Nitrogen powered with a subtle chocolate nose. Gorgeous black color with a bright white head. Lighter (and fresher) than Guinness. Slightly sweet on the tongue. Glass begs you to drink it all day long. Very different tasting than the bottled variety.

Jun 9, 2009 Huge head and it lasts forever. Dry is also an apt descriptor here. Dry stout usually means bland stout, but this is actually quite roasted and full flavored, just very dry. The burnt malt bitterness lingers a bit on the tongue.

Jun 8, 2009 Pours a deep dark color almost black with a light ruby tint when held up to the light, there is a big fluffy tan head. The aroma is simple with some coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor is nicely roasty with a good mocha character and a nice mild hop bitterness. Texture is creamy and very nice.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a deep brown color with a thin beige head that diminished to a layer. Uninspiring nose with hints of bakers chocolate, some light roast, and a sweet fruitiness. Smooth, moderately sweet entry leads into a awkward sour twang with some faint roastiness and some sweet fruity flavors that ends lightly dry. Fizzy on the palate and a bit thin. I am not sure this bottle was in good shape given some of the other reviews and the light sourness present. I guess I will have to retry in the future.
