HopTsing (329) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - AUG 19, 2012
From the tap came a very dark brew with a dark head. the main aroma and flavor was of smoke with malt and a hoppy presence start to finish. Medium bodied, but not my style.

tia (763) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - JUN 29, 2012
Tap. Vet dark with thin cream head with some retention and light lacing. Smells roast with a chocolaty twinge. Dry and roast with a bit of astringency. Nice dry finish, very clean palate.

Sikash (175) - North Carolina, USA - JUN 9, 2012
Served from a tap into a pint glass. Pours a dark black color with a dark tan head that doesn’t last too long. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate with coffee as well. Taste is heavy on the roasted malt with an undertone of coffee and chocolate. Subtle taste of bitter alcohol but a little light on the back end. Also a little light on the mouthfeel. Overall a solid stout.

Bif (1023) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - APR 10, 2012
On tap- Served a deep brown color with a thick tan head that fades to decent lacing. Aroma of coffee and chocolate with a hint of spice. Taste of dark chocolate and coffee with a nice bitterness and a dry finish. Full body, smooth and creamy. Nicely balanced. Nice easy drinker. This is a nice solid stout from a local brewer.

Cybercat (2464) - Georgia, USA - DEC 27, 2011
Comes out of the tap a rich opaque warm sable with a thick, fine-bubbled, almost Guinness-like light tan head that leaves some good lacing. Aroma has chocolate, coffee and smoky tones with a hint of licorice. Flavor is like mocha, quality coffee and chocolate with a smoky tone and hints of licorice and caramel. Texture is smooth, tingly and thick, leaving a satisfying finish. Let this one hammer you!

Elwood (2493) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - OCT 29, 2011
Serving: Draft at the brewpub. It pours black with slight ruby highlights. The nose is roasty with notes of coffee. Smooth body with an aggressive roasty bitterness. Lots of coffee and some dirt. Medium bodied. Definitely worth a try.

OldGrowth (2108) - North Carolina, USA - MAY 22, 2011
on tap at Tylers’ Apex. 5/15/11. Ok aroma, sweet, roasty, baking chocolate, oat. Blackish brown color, no head or lace. Bitter sweet flavor. Lite body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, dry finish. Nice stout, very dry, easy drinking, flavor came on strong, more so than aroma led on. Oat gave it a nice sweet streak.
