4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma has light roast, smoke, and chocolate. Flavor is complex and mush more aggressive than the aroma...sweet chocolate and mild coffee...light roastiness...some dark fruit creeping in. Mouthfeel is velvety and heavy...finish lingers with roast and dark fruit.

Glad I got to try some of this since it sold out pronto. Very full and sweet aroma - chocolate, coffee, smoked peat, toasted grains. Midnite pour with a light layer of foam. A powerful, rich, solidly built stout. There is so much brown bread flavor that Dave wanted to spread margerine on it. Hoppy bite, freshly toasted grains. It is a bit sharp in the finish when cold, but more malty and sweet when warm. Cheers to Clown Shoes for this one.

22 oz. bottle from Total Wine - Pours a dark brown color with a one and a half finger thick tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. Light lacing. Flavor is much of the same along with the advertised smokiness. The finish is fairly smooth and the roastiness lingers a bit. Medium to full body. An enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark opaque color with a foamy khaki head that stays about a finger deep. Nose is hickory smoke up front, jerky, light salt and peete notes. Palate is clean and smooth up front but finishes with a strong bite, full mouth feel, and a nice mouth coating. Flavors of chocolate, malted milk, raisins, light smoke notes. Heavy lacing coats the glass.

Pours a sludgy, oily black. No head. Aromas of wood, smoke, caramel, dark chocolate and coffee. Initial taste is burnt but sweet. The cocoa/coffee come out towards the middle. The wood/roastedness really shine in this beer. Definitely delicious. Mouthfeel is oily but not too bad. This beer is definitely worth a try.
