3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at MBGSF 2010. Super smoky. Not really that roasty, maybe it could be a porter, maybe. Not bad though.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A nice smoky aroma, an OK head, and a creamy texture. The aroma was the best feature. The taste was decent.
3.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
I wouldn’t say this is weak. Not super strong, but definitely a stout to write home about. Nice amount of head, good bitterness. Their best stout.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewery. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, chocolate syrup, sweet malt, and roasted malt. Flavor was somewhat of a let down -- very sweet and sugary, not as robust as the aroma would suggest. A touch of roasted malt, but mostly just sweetness.
7/4/6/3/12 [3.2/5]
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sweet molasses and chocolate nose, dark fruit, light coffee and light smoke. Taste is moderately sweet, lightly bitter, prune juice, roast, smoke and brown sugar. Meh.

On tap at Dragonmead. Pours dark brown, amost black, with a lingering tan head. Somewhat smokey at first, then fade to a robust roasted coffee flavor, with some hints of hops. Body was just a little thin, but very good.
