Thanks to hophead75 for sharing. Pours a deep charcoal black- almsot opaque just like thier other stouts- head is thin. Aroma is toasty- tons of chocolate malt and the smoke is noticed but not intense. Flavor has a bit more smoke, but the chocolate malts dominate- has some licorice, and almost an oily feel and a smooth finish. Great stout as expected from DH.

Jun 18, 2008 A black pour with a dark tan head. Whoah. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has more roasted goodness, some chocolate, caramel, and wood shows through as well. Not quite as smokey as expected, but the stout hanging out here is very nice. Finishes mildly bitter.

Jun 11, 2008 Near black with a brown head. Medium full body and smooth. Great stout taste is blackened malts with smoke and peat with a black malt bitterness to finish. A very good base stout with bonus smoke and peat flavors.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Opaque black with small tan head. Aroma is big smoke, roasted chocolate, a little sweet roast, with only a tad bit of hops, dark fruit and alc. Smoke base to the flavor with dark roasted malt, chocolate, a little alc with hops. Medium body with a little syrupiness. A nice stout with a great balance of smoke thrown in.
