Jul 7, 2008 Pretty dark brown, nearing opaque, tan head, pitted egg shell texture. Aroma has a nice mix of dark chocolate and roasted grain, and just a little hint of cappucino. Flavor is more coffeeish, with chocolate and roasted grains in the background. Finish is dry, somewhat husky/tart and reveals a fairly decent resiny hopping. A respectable dry stout.

Jun 28, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks, Pete! Pours a dark, chocolate-brown color; fizzy, medium-tan head with solid creamy lacing. Chalky cocoa, dark chocolate, and just a touch of mild tartness in the aroma; slight bitterness. Medium mouthfeel: fizzy carbonation; lots of bitter chocolate and cocoa; some citrus and lots of bitterness from the cocoa; slightly muddled. Medium finish: bitter chocolate, cocoa, slightly chalky and dry.

Jun 20, 2008 Draught @ the Freeport tavern, both cask-conditioned and nitro versions. Opaque black-brown, small head. Husky, roasted malt aroma. Low carbonation. Silky smooth. Burnt flavors. Quaffable. Slight touch of anise sweetness. Burnt and husky but still alright. Nitro does not do it justice.

Jun 11, 2008 12oz bottle pours black with near infra red edges and semi bumpy-frothy mocha head. The aroma is a mix of burnt malts and coffee grounds to go along with mild levels of caramel and vanilla. The taste starts semi vanilla sweet and quickly moves to dark roasted malts and coffee. A burnt malt note rises up and grows into the finish becoming nearly ashy. Into the after taste I’m left with burnt malts and a return of the vanilla note.
