egajdzis (3021), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA May 8, 2008 Poured an opaque black color with a large, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, light smoke, anise, cocoa, and a bit of smoke. Taste of more roast, smoke, burnt malts, some lactic acid, more anise, and an acidic mouthfeel.
Ron (751), Rochester, New York, USA Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brewfest. Light chocolate aroma. Nice big tan head from the black body. Medium palate. Chocolate flavor is a bit thin, but enjoyable. A solid sweet stout. jjpm74 (3155), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Jul 17, 2008 Bottle courtesy of beerman6686. Pours dark brown with a thin light brown head. Smells of chocolate, coffee, hints of nuts. Tastes sweet and malty with some roasty hints on the finish. Pretty good. Funknmilla (525), Absecon, New Jersey, USA Jul 12, 2008 12oz bottle...aroma--cocoa and paint thinner...pours dark brown with a crazy head of brown sugar...thin body with a tinge of metal...a muddled cherry and bitterness to the cherry...some toffee and a chalky mouth feel..its ok to pound down...not great...probably wouldn’t buy again...but the bottle may be bad??...so that would be the only time to retry , but not anytime soon swoopjones (1179), Buffalo, New York, USA Jun 19, 2008 Sample @ Village Beer Merchants Erie Tasting. Decent stout but needs more body. aroma of roasted malts, chocolate. Nice roasty flavor. All the elements for a quality stout are here except the body.
