xCENOTAPHx (16), Grandview, Texas, USA Jun 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark ruby color with a light tan head that lingers long after the beer is done. Contrary to other raters, I did not find this beer any more bitter or filling than a corona, only much much better. Smells of roasted barley. Very good. Bill86 (43), Tennessee, USA May 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 3, 2008Not my style of beer, tastes worse from the bottle then on tap though. On tap it’s really not bad at all, actually quite good. CptWenis (5), Eugene, Oregon, USA does not count May 29, 2008 A dark beer with a frothy head, looks very pleasing. Much better from tap than in a bottle/can. Full body with a bitter taste in the back of the throat. MrBeerFanatic (344), jamestown, New York, USA May 26, 2008 A pretty good stout. Has the scent of slightly roasted malts. Pours a nice dark brown body with a frothy brown head that does not dissipate for a while. The taste is somewhat malty with smoked barley and a hint of sweetness, but watered down. There is a slight smokiness that lingers after a couple of swigs. Watery palate. Overall I enjoyed this beer as it is balanced decently. goattman (8), Peoria, Arizona, USA does not count May 25, 2008 Awsume beer off the tap. Sucks out of a can. Very filling skip dinner if you are having a few. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA May 24, 2008 Smells like it tastes, a malty coffee-ish aroma/flavor. Tastes like no other beer, which is a plus. I like the dryness. Like most, I love when it is poured perfectly with the marshmellow head and the hurricane of light and dark brown body. Often overrated, but surely an original classic. mojoharper (16), South Africa May 24, 2008 Opaque appearance with creamy head. Yeasty, coffee aromas. Very smooth mouthfeel, with roasted nuts and coffee flavors. Finishes nice and dry. Refreshing but also great with food. A very well crafted beer. austone (998), Turku; Pori, Finland May 24, 2008 Tap @ One For The Road, Pori. Black with thick silky head. Nose is slightly raisiny, soft burned malts, whipped cream and little hops. Somewhat malty flavor, mildly burned and smoky, little prunes. Medium bodied, creamy but a bit hollow palate.
