Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very nice black color with a large, foamy, lingering, dark tan head. Taste is of hops, malt, grass, smoke, caramel and some chocolate. Has a nice sweetness to it. Well balanced. Is a bit too much bitter and dry. Easy to drink and rather enjoyable. Worth getting again as it is moderately priced.

Mar 28, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Black pour with ruby highlights, large foamy light brown lasting head. Soft aroma - sweetened coffee, cream, a bit of dry mint - very roasty. The taste follows, with more dry herbal bitterness and coffee grounds-like acidity - light alcohol, it seems almost burnt. Creamy, rich mouthfeel, again, soft, sweet up front, but burnt roast with hints of dry bitterness in the linger. Very, very good stout. I could drink this all day.

Mar 27, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Almost black with a rich, lacing light brown head. Meaty roast aroma. Chocolate, some meaty saltiness, roast. Full-bodied. A stout that is not just kidding.

Mar 22, 2009 It pours very dark with a chocolate colored foam. The aroma has vanilla hints. It has a rich, coffee flavor. It clings to your palate.

Mar 2, 2009 12 oz bottle from a very generous Douglas88. Pours a black color which reveals some ruby highlights when held up to a light. A vigorous pour will net a 1/2" brown head. No lace. Nose is roasted malt with a trace of chocolate. Nice full, heavy mouth feel. Flavor is dark bakers chocolate with some dark fruit flavor. Mildly bitter finish. Very nice!

Mar 1, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of mfielden. Pours a murky dark brown to black color with a massive two finger creamy tan head. Aroma is roasted and malty with notes of chocolate, caramel, honey, molasses, some hints of coffee and floral hops. Flavor is roasted and malty as well with notes of chocolate, ripe dark fruit, caramel, coffee, and brown sugar. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing chocolate and malty finish.

Mar 1, 2009 Great stout, readily available in the West. Not sure about the East Coast. One of my favorites from Deschutes. Dark mocha color. Great for a everday available beer. Amazing for croquet on a side note.
