Oct 4, 2005 Bottled. Pitch black opaque, brown mediumsized head. Strong roasted malt in aroma with hints of caramel and toffee. The same in flavour. Aftertaste sweet malty with weak soapy hints.

Oct 3, 2005 Sampled from bottle. Pours an opaque black with a thin, tan head and nice lace. Aroma is bold and is a equal blend of coffee and chocolate with some earth notes. There is also a hint of sourness in the aroma, but it is far from unpleasant. Flavor is nicely bitter, although it starts sweet for just a second, with toffee, chocolate and some grapefruit/spice hops. Bitterness lingers for a bit too long (so good thing it has a pleasant flavor). Full-bodied, moderately carbonated at best and silky smooth. Wow.

Opaque black, good creamy cappuchino head. A bit yeasty, hoppy, slightly roasted nose with hints of vegetables. Medium-bodied, sweetish, caramelly, nice flavor. Coffee and roast in the flavor. Aroma is not promising but flavor is excellent.

Sep 29, 2005 Updated: Nov 17, 2007Thanks Wohlfs! Poured thick black with rd highlights. A dry chocolate and expensive coffee aroma. Thick creamy brown head, Tasted like dry bitter dark chocolate. There is an abundance of carbination, maybe if there was a bit less... This was a very good stout, I would call it a dry stout. Did I mention dry?
re-rate 11-17-07 this is a very good brew. As it warms, lots more chcolate comes out, and it is still dry!

Sep 27, 2005 Black. Toasty malt aroma and flavor with some coffee. This beer has enough hops to balance the malt with a little left over for an aftertaste of hop and nutshell. Nice bitter finish. A very drinkable stout.

Sep 25, 2005 Big aroma and flavor of coffee. Nice malty sweetness, with tart bakers chocolate in there too. Nice and smooth. (But got a little rougher as it warmed)

Sep 17, 2005 hocolately mocha powder aroma. Coffee dark. Smooth, although some cookie crumbs and coconut strings mouthfeel in there. Well roasted, bittersweet and neither leaning to coffee nor chocolate. Very nicely carbonated.

Sep 4, 2005 Updated: Mar 26, 2007Pours black with nose of chocolate and coffee. Smokey and coffeish. I’d drink this again. Less sweet than the Deschutes Porter, so I like this one better. Re-rate gives this a two tenths bump up
