Bottle (well earned after shoveling snow in Chicago and then listening to the radio feed of the Rangers- Flyers online... LGR!!). Pours a deep chestnut-blackish ’stouty’ color, (nearly) opaque with a thin off-white head that lasted longer than I expected, not much lacing though. Nose is roasty, some chocolate, raisins hint of smoke. Mouth is medium bodied and slightly watery for a stout (body is more like a porter IMO), but dry and satisfyingly roasty, with some coffee and malts with some soot and a slight bitterness back end. Sessionable.

Bottle. Very dark brown pour with some red highlights. Minimal head. Roasted malts and ash in this. Easy drinking. Moderate palate. Slightly dry on the finish.

Bottled at 4.7% abv. Aroma of smokey chocolate and coffee with cream. Near-black color, looks on the thin side. Bites like a dry wine, bitter start with roasted malt aftertaste. Reminds me of craft root beers only in stout form.

Dang...second yucky beer of the night. Smell like urine. Tastes like dirty socks. Pretty sure this beer was inspired by a men’s college dorm or a gas station bathroom.

UPDATED: APR 12, 2013 12oz bottle into English pint glass. Dark brown color with tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is the aroma with more semi-sweet chocolate note, ashy smoke, a little metallic and a dry bitter earthy hop finish. Light body, creamy, crisp, tart and a little astringent. Overall a pretty good dry stout.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark brown to black with a khaki colored head of foam. Not much retention or lacing. Aroma had a dry coffee ancmd sweet chocolate nuance with some light hazelnut. Taste is sweet and roasty coffee. Light to medium bodied. Overall a decent dry stout.

Bottle from wegmans Kop. Pours black with minimum head. The aroma has a lactose quality plus some light milk chocolate. The taste has a bitter chocolate, light coffee. The palate is less creamy than hoped.

Pours dark brown with amber tint. Tan head. Roasted malt aroma with coffee & chocolate aromas. Roasted malt flavor with chocolate and coffee flavors. Very dry finish. Would love to try this on nitro tap.
