Very similar to the Helicopter version of this, but less over powering on the coffee. I actually preferred this one over the one with added coffee.

Poured from growler 2 weeks old from brewery. Overall tastes great smooth, and is rosaty and malty. Very bright and intense carbonation is the only dissatisfied portion of this beer.

Dark pour with some roasty and oaty aromas. Palate was smooth but a bit weak and thin. Had light oat flavors but needed more carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 incutrav (577) - Woodbury, Minnesota, USA - DEC 15, 2008
Very dark. Light roastiness in there. Very creamy and smooth. Easy drinking stout, really nice. Actually Hard to tell between this and the BH, as the helicopter has little coffee present in it. Im infusing my growler with coffee to see if I can make a BH clone with some real coffee taste to it.

Black. Tall, thick head. Roasted grain, malt, lightly burnt with oatmeal and some popcorn. Great, thick palate. This is some of Flat Earth’s best work.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - NOV 17, 2008
Picked up 64-oz growler from brewery. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a wild and thick lumpy tan head that has great retention and thick lacing. Amazing that this stout develops a gushing and wild head even when served cold. Aroma of toasted dark malt, a hint of coffee, molasses and dark chocolate. Taste is a little heavier carbonated, medium bodied, with flavors of smoked dark black malt, some black licorice, chocolate, a wee bit of lactose and light coffee. Finish is slightly metallic with a toasted dark malt aftertaste that slowly disappears.
