TKA300 (99), Carbondale, Illinois, USA Jan 16, 2009 Poured a deep black, almost fully opaque with a small tan head. Smelled like chocolate, but didnt really finish as long as I had hoped. Overall, it was alright, but nothing I would choose to drink every day. jgb9348 (2492), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Jan 11, 2009 Pitch black coloured body, 95% opaque with a nice dense light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, light coffee and a small amount of chocolate. Medium-bodied; Pungent taste of roasted malt and coffee with a light chocolate bitterness and a fresh clean aftertaste. Showing signs of hops and bitterness at the end, but very rounded and nice. Overall, a good dry stout - no harsh flavours at all and hardly any alcoholic twang to speak of. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 04-February-2006 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Pawola22 (676), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Jan 10, 2009 On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours a pitch black body with a thick and creamy buttery white head. Leaves a good amount of lacing and lingers for quite a long time. Milky aroma. Some chocolate and light roasts. Caramel. Similar taste. Very milky and creamy. Light bitterness and dusty milk chocolate. Sweet. Soft palate and very smooth. Overall, an easy drinking session beer and a decent offering from KC’s own.
