Jun 2, 2006 12oz bottle. Pours as dark as dark can be, with a thick beige head. Aroma is primed with lots & lots of roasted malt goodness and a trace of chocolate. Flavor is also packed full of the roasted malt, with a little bitter chocolate and some toffee. Very smooth on the tip of the tongue followed by a little bitterness on the back. Very smooth. Very drinkable.

May 9, 2006 This was really a GOOD stout. Poured jet black with thin tan head and okay lacing. Aroma was that of chocolate mixed with dark fruit..grapes, plums, cherries. Taste was very much chocolate malt. As beer warmed, alcohol became more noticeable about mid-glass, but perfectly blended with the flavor. Very good, long, smooth finish. This has to be my favorite stout to date....just sorry I can’t readily obtain in GA

Apr 13, 2006 A good stout with all the tastes a stout should have. The dark rich color, the coffee and some chocolate taste.Just what you would expect from Deschutes.

Mar 15, 2006 I enjoyed this. Lacked the magical intensity of a Storm King Draft, but geat balance of chocolate and coffee, good sweet malt, and enough hop bitterness.
