Oct 13, 2009 12 oz. Bottle Thanks to Dchmela!
Great pour with a nice brown head that lasted pretty well. Chocolats, roasted malt, some molasses and coffee with a finish that stays with you. A very nice beer!

Oct 7, 2009 On nitro at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, OR. Colour... jet black with a thin tan head that totally coats the sides (and stays!) when swirled. Nose... very roasty with medium bodied black coffee. Palate... creamy, yet sharp, roasty, tangy, anise, coffee, molasses and a long bitter finish. I like this from the bottle, but nitro is truly fantastic!

Sep 30, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours just about black with a moderate-large light brown head that lasted through mid-glass and left a nice webbing of lace. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, and roasted malt. While the aroma is more dominated by chocolate, the flavor is mostly roasted malt, burnt toast and just a bit of bittersweet chocolate. Moderate roasty bitterness at the finish. Very good stout.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours black with a sizable tan head - excellent retention. Taste is heavy on roasted malts, sweet grainy coffee, chocolate, and a bit of molasses. Good body and mouth feel. Very drinkable and ejoyable.

Sep 23, 2009 Updated: Sep 24, 2009Deep brown with a thick tan head which retains fairly long. Has a great aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and raisin. Flavor is a bit sweet with a lot of coffee and a bit of an acidic flavor. This is pretty good for the price, but I think I actually like their Black Butte Porter more.

Sep 19, 2009 Updated: Nov 14, 2009Pour dark black, beautiful head with appropriate lacing. Poured into a duvel tulip. Excellent palate, but perhaps could be a bit softer
Rich nose, excellent dry roasted lingering bitterness. Some vanilla. Excellent balance, not too burnt, not too sweet. I love this kind of stout.
Rerate: I love my stouts charred, but not smoked. Yum. This is a great session beer.

Sep 18, 2009 Pours black with a thick, sticky head - rich aroma of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, vanilla bean, black malt - creamy body - bitter dark malts are balanced by chocolate sweetness - some notes of char, burnt malts, but it never becomes ashy, like so many other highly bitter and roasty stouts - a nice mix of sweetness and dry character in the finish - this is a great stout.
