Pours deep black with lacy brown head. Aromas of rosted malt, alcohol, and chocolate. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, oak, malt, and alcohol. Intense brew here. Great flavors for a stout, like it should be.

Sep 5, 2008 Very thick almost pitch black pour with very small dark head. Big flavor of roastiness, oak, molasses, espresso and bready malt. Very appropriate and not overpowering mouthfeel.

Sep 2, 2008 Pour is thick engine oil black with a small dark tan head. Aroma is of sweet malt, caramel, oak, light coffee, chocolate, and a light burnt character. Can you say complex? Brew is very full bodied with a strong oak and toast character finishing with more sweet malt, toffee and strong hops right at the end. Very smooth mouthfeel and a dang good brew. With further review, I get a hint of coffee in the flavor as well. I wouldn’t mind having this brew around for a few more years to see what happens. I’ll be looking for this brew again!

Aug 31, 2008 Drinking this is like eating those incredible delicacies at the state fair. Something like bacon, dipped in chocolate, battered an deep fried. So many incredible flavors, each one decadently good in its own right, all put together. Fantastically good, but only in moderation. But there is actually a kind of internal moderation. Each great but overpowering flavor seems to cancel the others out so that no one overpowers the other, or you.

Aug 31, 2008 (Sample from December 14, 2007 Beer Club Meeting; Bomber with ice cream with weeAnaP on August 24, 2008) HUGE brown head… STILL huge! Fantastic lacing. Bubbly, looks like a wheat pancake on the stove. Oaked malt aroma with molasses. Flavor is VERY well done. Lacing follows all the way down the glass as you drink. Very warm on the tongue. Spicy finish from the alcohol. Creamy, smooth, full-flavored, round on the palate. Delicious with ice cream!
