Aurelius (2517), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 3, 2003 Good-looking black beer. Mild ale-y smelling, with just a twinge of hop aroma. Choco-lactose on top of dark roast flavor. Dry, a little watery tasting (though not watery feeling.) Mildly hopped. Fairly quick coffee finish. An off note in the backend disturbed an otherwise very good palate. Easy drinking. PorterPounder (2864), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Mar 20, 2003 Overall a good Brewpub stout. No real aroma - excellent thick dark black pour with a heavy, creamy head with a lot of lacing. Detect a little bit of hoppiness in there. Smoky, roasted flavor starts off strong but fades and sours near the end - bit of an aftertaste - thus the low marks on palate. Overall a good choice for #400 for me.
