(Sampled 7-14-08 at brewery) Black in appearance, non transparent, some lacing. Very faint aroma of roasted malt. Hits the mouth with a hard wide body, malt is nicely roasted, cream quality in the middle, finish of molasses and caramel.

Draught. Pours brown. The aroma is sweet, almost cola-like with hints at oats. Not much bitterness or roast is present on this one. I found the mouthfeel to be light for a stout. Flavors of caramel and chocolate are present with a richly sweet finish. This is a decent, fairly creamy beer. There just isn’t much to it.

Draft sample at Keg Fest. Poured a dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate roasted chocolate malt and coffee aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium roasted balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Smooth brew, my expectations where met.

Draft - black appearance. Too thin for the style. Very roasty with Chinook, Northern Brewers and Perle hops. Getting better!
