Draft at BMRAF 08. Poured dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid roasted coffee & chocolate aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium roasted balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a solid beer.

Chocolate malt aroma with a bit of hop. Body is a deep brown color. Malty flavor with espresso, chocolate and vanilla notes followed by citrus. Finish is bitter. An interesting marriage of the two styles, can’t say I am a big fan though.

May 2, 2008 Firkin version at Barley’s 6th Annual Mini RAF (04/26/08): This beer pours black with a medium thick light tan head that recedes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and hops. Medium-bodied with a roasty and hoppy character. Flavors of chocolate malt, coffee and touches of citrus are present as well. The finish is burnt malt and hops with a lingering coffee aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Apr 3, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Aroma mainly of amarillo hops and a bit of coffee. Tastes upfront of burnt coffee and finishes with a long hoppy bitterness. Tastes just like the description. By far the best of their beers that I have tried so far.

Apr 2, 2008 On tap at the brewery. This was a nice and different stout. Very creative. Aroma was so so. Could pick up slight coffee and roasted malt. Pour was a nice near black with a 2 finger tan head. Taste was two fold. The stout in the front hits you with the coffee and a hint of bitter chocolate. After the swallow the throat dries and you can taste the hoppy bitterness resonating up. Nice one.
