Bottle. Huge tan head, dense and lasting with some lace, black body, roasty nose with espresso notes and perhaps some dark chocolate and maybe some floral hop notes. Pretty dry, typical roasted malt flavors, sort of like drinking powdered baker’s chocolate with some ground espresso mixed in. Could use more crystal malt. Finish sort of disappears.

Jul 18, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a pleasant malty aroma. There is a very rich flavor of chocolate and coffee. There are no notable flaws in this brew, making it a great value for the style.

Jul 13, 2008 A great stout and incredible for the money. I always go back to this beer again and again. It is yet another example of the flawless brewing of Deschutes.

Jul 2, 2008 Aromas of cereal grains, vegetable, molasses, licorice, charcoal and vanilla with floral hops backing. Kinda reminds me of rootbeer.
Flavors of dark chocolate, smoky coffee, charred malts, and nuts. Some dark winey/fruity notes; cherry and plum.
Creamy palate, lots of bubbly. Dry finish.
