FlyingSwine (169), Littleton, Colorado, USA Mar 2, 2008 Updated: Mar 21, 2008Pours pitch black, with a small, tan head. Light aroma of coffee. Flavor of roasted nuts, espresso, brown sugar, and dark chocolate. Palate is creamy, thinner than expected, and finishes on the dry side. Overall a solid stout, but not spectacular. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Feb 24, 2008 Thanks bmartin. Poured a nice dark black with a one finger dark brown head. The aroma was very rich, roasty, molasses, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar. The flavor was also very rich, soy, molasses, chocolate, coffee, roasty flavor. Fairly thick mouthfeel. Excellent stout. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Feb 24, 2008 The color was very dark brown/black. The head was thin, fizzy, and light biege. The aroma was coffee, molasses, chocolate, roasty, and a light metalic nose. The flavor was coffee, roasty, chocolate, sweet, and hops. The palate was smooth and thick-bodied. The finish was hoppy. dkingsella (85), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 24, 2008 Updated: Aug 14, 2009Bottle. Can also get on tap around town. Pours black with a mocha colored head that seems to last for a while leaving a rather nice lacing to the glass. Aroma isn’t this beers strongest suite...very subtle notes of toffee and roasted malt. Flavor however is another story...nice full bodied stout with a somewhat sticky mouth feel. Complex flavor profile with definite chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Very good Stout. StFun (535), Indiana, USA Feb 24, 2008 Props to thooper41 for sending this one my way! Pours black with a small frothy head. Aroma is licorice and toffee. Texture is very creamy, and the flavor combines coffee, toffee, and licorice. Very much a "lite" version of Dark Horse Reserve Black Bier, just a tad weaker and watery. Still a solid brew. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Feb 21, 2008 Poured black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee. Some chocolate mixed with coffee. Lots of fruit that almost overpowers the coffee. Different. DarkMagus (433), San Jose, California, USA Feb 19, 2008 Wow, nothing this brewery creates can go wrong. This beer was a dark black with a sticky and long-lasting brown film of bubbles on the surface. Aroma was slightly sweet with loads of roasted malt. Some hints of chocolate and coffee. Flavors were really powerful and intense, with a satisfying amount of rich roasted malt with even more coffee and chocolate, and a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. Perfectly well-balanced. Full bodied and slightly sticky-but-slick mouthfeel. I love the fact that this beer exists AND IS SOLD IN SIX PACKS. Awesome stuff, I need to stock up.
