A pitch black beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of both chocolate and coffee - and the flavor is like the aroma.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy dark brown with a small, creamy and brown head. Aroma is roasted dark malt and light chocolate. Smooth malty, breadish, dark roasted, chocolate and light liqourice. Dark roasted bread and light acidic roasted note. Bitter and dark malty finish.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2004 Sampled draught at the brewpub.
Very black with creamy head. Dry and intensely roasty with coffee and chocolate. Soft, velvetty mouthfeel and lingery grassy bitter finish. Tasty and well balanced.

Draught, 5% at the brewpub. roasted aroma, hint of smoke. Black colour. Big creamy stable light brown head. Whisky flavour. A bit smoked also. Does not taste as if it was barrelled, more like whiskywas added. But interesting.

Chocolatey black stout with a bittersweet palate. Light aroma, wet body, dryish finish.

Espresso head with black body. Aroma is medium sweet chocolate, lighter coffee. Taste is sweet coffee. Think Breyers coffee ice cream, with a trifle more bitterness, and you've got it. Creamy, fairly full body.

Draft...This beer rocks!... Who turned out the lights? I am sitting in very bright sunlight and I still can’t see through this beer. Dark as midnight durning the new Moon. It’s on nitro, so it has a large, creamy, tan head. Terrific retention with interesting, cumulus lacing. Malty, burnt aroma that is very chocolatey with notes of vanilla and toasted nuts. Tastes and feels like a dry stout to me and the 5% ABV is concurrent with that assumption. Burnt, but not overly ashen or bitter. Balanced, yet malty. Medium to full-bodied and very dry. Lengthy, burnt, moderately bitter finish. Excellent stout / dry stout!

Deep black beer with a choclate vanilla aroma. Dark smoked choclate in the mouth with jsut enough bitterness...very rich mouth feel, leaving a nice enjoyable film in my mouth.

Pitch black beer, creamy tan head. The aroma is great. Loaded with cocoa and milk chocolate. A great silken mouthfeel with a kiss of light vanilla as well. Roasty and rich with a nice lingering bitter dark chocolate finish. Lightly earthy bitterness. It’s pretty solid, really.

Dark and opaque with a tan nitro head. Lightly roasted aroma is somewhat passified by the nitro tap. Body is sweet, but somewhat thin with a nice subtle dark fruit flavor. Very smooth roasty finish as well. A good, very drinkable stout.
