Jun 16, 2007 This one poured quite black, I guess that name isn’t an ironic one. Quite a sweet smelling aroma, with a bit of molasses, but on tasting it was dry. A bit of nuttiness in the aftertaste. A little lacking in body, but overall it’s a decent drop.

Jun 16, 2007 Pours black with a thick tan head that reduces to a noticeable film. A nicely pungent aroma composed mainly of hops with some roasted or earthy malt tones mixed in. The more I smell, the more different aromas I find. Initial flavor has the bite of the hops, but it gives way to the chocolate/burnt malt flavors that dominate the finish. It’s a very noticeable and nice transition. It’s not too heavy on the tongue - a nice medium bodied beer. Great finish that leaves me wanting more. I think I’ll stock up on this one.

Jun 14, 2007 Nice subtle roasted malt aromas. Creamy textures with a burnt coffee/french roast finish. A little bit of sweetness in the taste along with some cocoa. This one is medium bodied and well rounded for a stout. Good and smooth.

Jun 11, 2007 Courtesy Quake. Black/brown. Small brown cap. Roasty, chocolatey malt in the nose, not much else. Flavor adds bittersweet chocolate and a bit of coffee. Simple but good. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Decent, very drinkable.

Jun 7, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel malt, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is mostly roasted malt and coffe, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Nice aftertaste, maybe a little too much coffee for me.

Jun 4, 2007 Black with a big tan head. Smells and tastes sweet and a little roasty. Good stout but I think it really should be a sweet stout instead of just a stout. It’s a bit too sweet for my liking as an everyday stout. Still though it’s solid.
