Sep 25, 2008 Aroma and taste are both nice and sweet: chocolate, vanilla, caramel, coffee, and does anyone else taste a hint of raspberry (maybe I’ve had one too many)? Little to no hops, short finsh, could use a bit more body, but its very smooth and drinkable.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle, bottled 6/10/04. Aroma distinctly of raisinets, chocolate and raisins sure, but very specifically raisinets. Flavor continued to be chocolatey with the sweet fruity notes, and a bunch of vanilla, just a touch of oak, overall quite sweet. Quite old obviously, would like a fresher bottle, but certainly an interesting treat it was.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of sloth, bottled 6/10/04. Pours black with a minute tan head. Aroma and flavor of Raisinettes and vinegar. I’m not sure if this beer went bad or if it’s supposed to taste like this, but either way, yuck! Hopefully I can get a fresher bottle of this to re-rate.

Sep 8, 2008 Pours a dark coffee brown with a caramel head that fades quickly. Sweet coffee and light caramel aroma. Strong coffee blast at first that gets enveloped with woody flavors that linger with an earthy roastiness. Thin body for big tastes.

Aug 22, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured out a deep brown with a red tint. Not much of a head to speak of. The aroma was also a little lacking, very faint smokey nose. Taste was excellent, the vanilla and oak flavors readily discern-able. Palate was just a little thin. All-in-all, an excellent drinkable stout.
