Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Nov 18, 2007 Looks great, pours with a good-sized dark head and leaves lacing. Roasty nose and taste and a solid dandelion root bitterness. Qualities similar to some imperial stouts. Alcohol is detectable and imparts an occasional sweetness. Good palate. BillKismet (1901), Seattle, Washington, USA Nov 17, 2007 Dark, with rich chocolate cream head. I had forgotten how stalwart this stout was. Deep, dark noted, slightly bitter chocolate aroma and flavor, with some alcohol notes contributing complexity. Strong roasted and chocolate component throughout the experience. Excellent beer for a rainy day or to enjoy with chocolate. CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Nov 6, 2007 (Draught) Sampled at the brewpub on October 17, 2007.

Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Nov 4, 2007 Bottle: Pours a very dark syrupy black with a nice tan head.
Aroma is coffee and sweet
Flavour is rich and sweet coffee and chocolate, with a slap of bitterness to it. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Nov 1, 2007 Bottle from the A2M ranger himself: Sean. Pours out a dark black color with a tan head that comes from the bottom. The nose is full of roasted coffee and almost a sweet smelling sugar with it. Kind of like a milk stout, but not repulsive like they are. Taste is smooth and rich, very chocolately but not overly sweet. No alcohol detected, and dangerously easy to drink. A really good beer, in a typically under appreciated style. Good stuff. MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Nov 1, 2007 22oz - thanks Yonker65 - Aroma of burnt oats and roasted chocolate malts. Appealing with cocoa, lacto and just a touch of hops. Pours black with a small brown ring head and good lacing. Flavor is a mild match to the aroma. Palate is sticky and ashy. A tasty stout. 152219 (14), USA Oct 30, 2007 Bottle. Poured thick and dark. Initial aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. The roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee really stand out in the taste. Smooth.
