Sep 9, 2007 Near black with nice tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malts. Smooth and creamy with nice coffee and choclate flavour. Nice rich malts throughout with a toasty presence.

Sep 9, 2007 Damn fine beer. Perfect effort by Deschutes. Smooth going down, not cloying on the tongue or leaving any nasty aftertaste. Chocolate flavors, coffee smells, enjoy.

Sep 4, 2007 You can sample 50+ stouts from U.S. producers and not find a major contender like this one. Way to go Deschutes by not getting to big to make absolutely fabulous beers.
This beer’s roast dominate character is so well integrated it’s scarry. Big roast (not burnt charcoal) flavors dominate, but are balanced with serious carmel notes and a dollop of chocolate. Bitterness sits at medium grade and roughens the back palate. So, so nice. A must taste or hell drink a 6’er while you’re at it.

Aug 29, 2007 this stout has a harsh bitter character that overwhelms the taste buds... there is a late bite on the palate that is displeasing as well

Aug 25, 2007 black with medium size khaki head.
smell of roasted malt, cocoa, whiff of coffee.
nicely bitter, smooth, taste of dark cocoa, the cocoa taste hides the alcohol extremely well, you can just taste a little bit on the back-end.
very, very, nice stout, deschutes did well with this one.

Aug 24, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Poured a deep brown, nearly black color with a nice tan head. Initial smell is milk chocolate and roasted malts. Taste matches the aroma with a nice milk chocolate start that leads into roasted malt flavor. Little bitterness. It is thick, and nice lacing is left throughout the glass. Very nice stout.
