kuphish (150), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jul 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a medium, light brown, creamy head. Opaque, black body proves to have some ruby when held up to light. Light roast and chocolate come through in the nose. Flavor contains some coffee, roast, a touch of ash and a little crystal sweetness. Light, somewhat thin body with fairly lively (for the style) carbonation. Overall a pretty good dry stout. Less carbonation, a slightly fuller body and a touch more roastiness would really round it out. Quite enjoyable nonetheless. RasterMaster (120), , Oklahoma, USA Jul 6, 2009 Dark brown pour into THICK foamy tan head that slowly dissipates into sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma of rich dark chocolate malt and dark roast cofee. Initial flavor of smoky dark roasted chocolate malt fading into a bitter dry roasted chocolatey finish. randolphjj (89), Raymore, Missouri, USA 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. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 17, 2009 (bottle). Pours a black color. Medium size tan head which is slightly diminishing. Light malt and coffee aroma. Malt flavor with light coffee and light bitterness. Avg duration. Thin texture. Astringent finish. Soft carbonation. Fair lacing. aracauna (2357), Georgia, USA 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. CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA 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. fluffy (229), Florida, USA Jun 6, 2009 aroma is of cocoa and and malts. flavor is deeply chocolate and toffee and some some firewood background. aftertaste is creamy with a nice balance of dark sugary malts and hops. very nice, a better than average stout. Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Jun 5, 2009 Poured black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Watered down flavor of chocolate and coffee.
