Pours a pitch black with a frothy enthusiastic light tan head. Aroma features resiny hops, smooth chocolate milk notes and a hint of roast barley. On the palate there is sweet malt, smooth mouth filling chocolate and a lightly roasty finish with a lingering hop resin character. Over all impression is of a smooth velvety beer but one that should be more complex than it is.

Jan 2, 2009 750 pours black with a rather large tan head that clings to the glass in cobweb lace. The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is malty, dry, chocolate, and slight peat. The palate is medium bodied and lively. Overall, very nice and one of the better Dry Stouts I’ve had for some time.

Dec 31, 2008 I thought this was rather weak for a stout; but maybe I have just grown accustomed to the monsters like Stone and Old Rasputin, or even Rogue Shakespeare. Decent enough, I guess.

Dec 30, 2008 750 ml bottle bought at College Liquors in Grand Junction, Co, I’m almost out of beers from that trip! Opens with a huge pop from the swingtop. Pours a dark black color with a huge and creamy brown head, and lots of lacing. A very nice aroma; loads of roasted malts, chocolates, some light coffee. The taste is just a great dry stout; lots of roasted malts, a dry fruity finish, some dry coffee and milk chocolates. I’ll always love this type of beer, and this is a great example of this style.
