Oct 20, 2009 Updated: Oct 26, 2009Aroma is coffee, milky, vanilla, and bitter cocoa.
Taste is astringent, sour coffee, and bitter cocoa- vanilla sweetness.
Mouthfeel is full, and bitter.
Finish is astringent, slightly bitter, and amazingly, not cloying in any way.
Coffee, vanilla, and cocoa dominate this brew, obviously.
Very nice.

Oct 20, 2009 Updated: Nov 5, 2009Almost perfect. Looks gorgeous and pours a medium head, complex palate dominated by cocoa and vanilla, the many flavors combine gorgeously and make for a smooth and delicious stout.

Oct 19, 2009 From a 12oz Bottle. Courtesy of oteyj. Pours a mostly transparent, chocolately black color with tannic hues and a two finger head of fine bubbled, beige foam. Rich chocolate-cocoa notes on top of a firm roast malt base. The vanilla is noticeable, but plays more of a back-up role to the chocolate and roast. It’s kind of three dimensional in that way, chocolate, roast, vanilla - in that order. No real hop or yeast characters present in the aroma, leaving a nice, clean impression. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel with a somewhat thin, yet pleasing texture. The flavors are more of the same from the nose - chocolate, roast, and vanilla, in order of strength. Finishes clean and chocolately, with a touch of milky sweetness. Great flavors; my only complaint is the body doesn’t really stand up to the richness of the flavors. No oxidation detected, but I think some (or more) flaked barley or oats could really enhance the mouthfeel while keeping the same flavor integrity. Thanks, James!

Oct 19, 2009 Bottle, pours out black with a slight lacing tan head. Very attractive aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and a light vanilla note. Taste is very complex, with a full, rich mouth feel. Roasted malt, rich chocolate, roasted (but not burnt) malts, vanilla, caramel, sweet cream and a little bit of hops. Very well balanced, nothing short of world-class.
