bottle thanks to unclemike. Pours a black color with a big bubbled dark tan head. Aroma is verty toasty malt and very much coffee. And the taste is a dry coffee flavor with some dry hop/malt in the background. Carbonation is right, mouthfeel is a bit watery. Still a fun beer to drink.

May 7, 2008 Pours black, tan head. Flavor is roasts, some milk chocolate, coffee, and maybe smoke. Mouthfeel was thin. Run of the mill stout.

Apr 25, 2008 12 oz bottle from unclemike. Pours an opaque black with a tan head that quickly recedes. The aroma is dusty and earthy with cardboard and some roasted malts. As I poured the beer it made an audible fizz like a soda being poured into a glass. I suspect this is artificially carbonated. The flavor was also earthy with a small amount of biter walnuts and some dark chocolate. The mouthfeel was thin and weak with a gritty after-effect. The finish was short and dry with lingering chocolate. Overall: A very interesting and drinkable stout, but I wish they had done a bit better on the palate. Very nice. Thanks mike.

Apr 13, 2008 Updated: Jun 29, 2008bottle Pours black with a creamy, dark tan head. The aroma is quite muted, primarily roasted malt and a touch of coffee. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, lively and quite astringent. This beer literally strips all moisture from my tongue. The flavor is bitter chocolate & coffee with a lightly metallic and dry finish. This one takes the term "dry" stout to the extreme I finished this beer more thirsty than when I began it.
