Draught. Marks for Appearance are an average, as beer was sampled in weak artificial light after dark. Coffee and cream, and - sorry - vomit. Coffee, rather sweet (maybe after all those IPA’s...). But there’s definitely some retronasal sweetness, molasses. Medium bodied at best, quite carbonated. Aftertaste is burnt-bitterish. Ho-hum coffeestout.

Jul 13, 2008 22 oz bottle from Holiday Wine CellarJet black with ruby tint and a medium light tan head. Aroma of black coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is lightly burnt black coffee with some dark chocolate, a little smoke and a strong bitter coffee/bakers chocolate finish. Medium body is creamy with moderate carbonation.

Jun 29, 2008 Dark pour with no real head to speak of. Lightly roasty and sweet with a bit of a dry finish if I remember correctly. Not bad, nothing wrong with it - just not anything to write home about.

Jun 22, 2008 this bottle has been stuck in the back corner of my beer fridge for... a while. I think I got it in trade from Saarlander, thanks Aaron. a decent stout, but nothing to really separate it from all the others. pours a very dark brown without much head or lacing. flavor was roasty chocolate with a quick finish.

May 15, 2008 Dark brown. Light chocolate aroma with a hint of fudge. Somewhat thin body with roast and chocolate. Vague nuttiness. Quick finish. I’d like a bit more residual sugar to round out the body and bring some of the roastier, more chocolatey notes to the fore.
