Dec 13, 2005 Bottle shared with Blankboy. Black, with a frothy tan head - looks good. Wonderful roast in aroma - hints of coffee and chocolate too. Really strong roast and coffee bean taste. Very dry. A little thin - almost a strong porter. Very well balanced. Dry bitterness at the end. This totally works - a fantastic stout.

Dec 4, 2005 Updated: Dec 6, 2005A totally drinkable stout. Nothing outstanding on any front, but solid across the board. A great beer to have on hand.

Nov 30, 2005 Jet black pour. The aroma is of roasted malt, roasted nuts and dark chocolate. Burnt malt flavor, with some coffee tones, some chocolate comes through. A great bitter chocolate aftertaste.

Nov 4, 2005 12oz. bottle. Enjoyable roasty malt aroma, some espresso and semi-sweet chocolate notes along with lighter hints of oatmeal and toffee. Deep black color, bottle-conditioned (swirled and poured), with a light brown, creamy head. Rich depth of malt flavor, more highly roasted malts, coffee and creamy chocolate to be found, very nicely balanced with a slight amount of fruity hop flavor and bitterness. Finishes long, with a smooth, fairly silky palate and medium-full body. Just very drinkable, flavorful and balanced, certainly deserving of its relatively high rank here.

Oct 30, 2005 As promised, this stout poured obsidian black with a short tan head. Strong aroma of dark chocolate and roasted to burnt malts. Flavor is sweet at first with the malts dominating — chocolate, caramel, latte. The dry, bitter finish takes over at the back of the mouth. Overall, an ejoyable, dry stout.

Oct 28, 2005 Wow, this is a dark beer. The maltiness is very present, with a slight bit of hops for bitterness. I did not get much in hop aromas. Excellent beer on a frigid day.

Oct 21, 2005 Good brewski! Very dark in color, nice and satisfying for sure. Roasty and has the nicest malts ive tasted. Smooth and somewhat sweet, kinda like ur mammy. Dark like Wesley Snipes’ upper lip.

Oct 13, 2005 [At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of chocolate, while the flavor is weirdly sweet - slightly perfumated, but also with notes of peach and roasted malt. The roastiness gives it a dry end.
