I think you need to allow this one to breathe for a bit to get the full affect of the nose. This beer has a nice flavor profile. It is a good, smooth stout, that I enjoyed quite a bit.

May 13, 2005 A very roasty stout with a smoked aroma and finish and lots of bitter coffee to finish it off. Very light on the palate, without a lot of thickness, but still remains rather smooth. Lots of hops in the finish give a big bitter finish. Very nice stout pouring a perfect black with a tall tan head.

Aug 28, 2006 Dark brown color,nice tan head that had a good hang time then faded slowly to leave a bit of a lace behind.The aroma was malty and roasty with a nice sweet side and maybe some hints of a bitter chocolate.The flavor was much better then i was expecting.Roasty and malty with a nice sweetness and some hints of chocolate and coffee,as the brew warms up a bit the coffee and chocolate become a little more pronounced but over all i’d have to say i really like this brew and want more for later.

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.

Nov 26, 2007 Black, dark brown around the edges. Rich, lightly sweet mocha. Finishes off with a plum fruitiness. I really liked this one. I was surprised by it, actually.

May 16, 2005 Oily black pour, thin creamy dark tan head. Nice aromas here of Starbucks coffee (Italian roast), bittersweet chocolate, mochachino, and toffee brittle, with light tones of smoke. Bittersweet chocolate citric tones and burnt coffee are prevalent as it warms, with light berry notes following through in the end. Lighter side of medium bodied and slick, light carbonation, bitter chocolate finish. Wish this was available in MD. Very nice...
