May 16, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop. Black pour with a very nice, thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is much of the same with a strong chocolate and coffee flavor. Lingering, pleasant finish. This is a very good stout and is a bit underrated in my opinion.

May 7, 2009 12 oz beer from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice dark brown color with a slight tan head. Aroma is all roasted chocolate and malt, maybe a touch of coffee for names sake. Taste is matching the aroma, is a bit too roasted but finishes nice with a bit of burnt aftertaste. Not that bad. Good session beer.

Apr 18, 2009 Bottle with special thanks to alexsdad. Pours a dark brown with little head and aromas or roasted corn (can that be right) and chocolate. As it warms the chocolate comes out stronger. Flavor is a thin bitter chocolate with a bit of prunes. Not bad stuff, but fairly simple.

Apr 17, 2009 Pours a beautiful dark brown/black. Very roasted, chocolately aroma. Taste like chocolate powder and coffee. Wonderful creamy texture. I really like this one.

Apr 6, 2009 Pours deep brown with brown edges and tan head. The aroma is mildly roasty to mildly burnt to coffee with a sense of oxidation and earthiness. I also get a bit of vague sweetness in the background. The taste seems smooth and creamy to start bringing in some roast and nearly burnt malts. Into the finish a modest drying sensation picks up due to some roasty malt astringency.

Mar 22, 2009 Thin head of dark brown bubbles. Reduces pretty fast. Rich chocolaty aroma with some roasted malts and light coffee. Color is essentially black. Milk chocolate, more coffee, some prunes and sweet roasted malts. Finishes rich and malty. A decent stout but not really special in any way.

Mar 21, 2009 330 mL. Dark brown pour- not pitch black but no light penetration. Very thin tan head that quickly disappears. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee grinds, roasted malt. Taste is a little weak as is the alcohol content. Mouthfeel is more watery and acidic than creamy and full. This is less intense I would argue than some porters. Not bad but nothing exciting.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark chocolate in color with a light tan head. Smells of roasted malts, chocolate, a mild hint of hops. Tastes of little chocolate, alot of coffee, with a moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Not too bad.
