Jun 2, 2007 At the Taphouse in Hampton. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of malt and fine scotch. Taste is much the same with a dry, alcoholic finish. Palate is a bit thin. Interesting, but not great.

May 27, 2007 11.2 oz bottle-Poured black w/no head & some decent lacing. Looks like a stout from the pour; has a carbonated, roasted malt aroma. Had a sweet flavor of molasis & roasted malt to it, some chocolate but not a lot. Carbonation is quite evedent. I guess I was expecting this to be a stout from the name & the pour, but it doesn’t taste like one at all. Was pretty good though. Long carbonated finish.

May 18, 2007 [bottle] The colour is black and the head is dense. Coffee and cocoa aroma. Flavour is very roasted with notes of coffee, still very smooth and drinkable. Tastes a lot like Guinness but with more balls.

May 15, 2007 very well balanced. bottle. pours black with copper highlights. very thin to no head. aroma is very faint smells mostly of chocolate and smoke. starts with a tingle as to suggest alot of carbonation but the head says otherwise. but urgently turns to a silky chocolate and then a smoky hop flavor that lasts. after the bottle i noticed my mouth was really dry. i dont know what that means so i wrote it. overall i think it would make a great day to day beer.

May 14, 2007 Bottled. Inky pour with creamy tan suds. Richly chocolatey aroma and flavour with hints of smoke and vanilla. Roasty, smooth, and bittersweet. Creamy cocoa smoothness drying into a charred malt/bitter hop finish. Lingers with some warming alcohol and Marmite yeastiness.

May 4, 2007 Pours a deep brown with ruby highlites and a large deep tan head. Candied malt malt, dark fruit, alcohol, lightly roasted coffee, and cocoa. Has a very smooth and creamy texture on its medium body. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, toasted malt, smoke, and some dark fruit. Well blended with nothing overpowering the overall enjoyment. Finishes smooth and lasting. I had a great time with this one. Tasted side by side with the Special Reserve, the original being the better of the two.
