Dec 22, 2007 Pours an opaque black with dark mahogany edges and a dense, frothy dark tan head. Lightly sweet and roasted dark malty nose has some chocolate notes. Body is a little thinner than expected with a touch of sweetness and bitter dark chocolate toward a drier, slightly watery finish. An ok dry stout, but needs a little more body.

Dec 12, 2007 Tap @ CBC – Pitch black, creamy tan head. Creamy roasted coffee and mocha molasses nose with underlying toasted vanilla bean wafts. Soft roasted coffee and cream flavors balance on hints of tobacco and touches of berry. Light bodied and thin, soft carbonation, roasty finish. Needs more body to it, but still tasty none the less..

Dec 9, 2007 This is one dark beer. I was served in a small sampler glass and it was completely opaque. Wonderfully creamy head with coffee and roasted malt notes. The beer had coffee notes, plenty of deep earthy roast notes, and a hint of chocolate. The mouth feel is great for the first instant and then the beer gives way and ends up as a thin and slightly metallic and not exactly dry. With a better finish this would be a truly great beer. Cheers!

Nov 12, 2007 On nitro, CBC. Dark as it gets. Slick and full mouthfeel. Watery, metallic aroma. Light creamy roast flavors. Unsatisfying.
