Another great one thanks to markwise. Pours clear mahogany with copper edges and brief tan head. The aroma is sweet rich molasses, black strap molasses, chocolate, coffee, burnt malts and a touch of caramel. The taste is a bit thin but it’s also rich with molasses, coffee, caramel, burnt malts and some malt roastiness. This is very nice and ends with the addition of a touch of dry roastiness.

Sampled at the Hopsnobbery Collective Stout tasting on 01/23/10. Bottle #5/156. Pours glossy black with a medium and rocky beige head that recedes to nothing steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Espresso and roasted malt in the nose, along with a touch of vanilla. Rich, smooth body with flavors of coffee, toasted malt and vanilla. Cinnamon flavor is very faint. The finish is roasty with a sweet mild coffee aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Chitown RB gathering Jan 2010: bottle#36 shared by Kan, thanks
Nearly opaque with brownish and reddish hues topped by a small fizzy head. The aroma has notes of coconuts, vanilla and coffee beans, walnuts, hop spice, oak and an interesting grape and lime ester. The taste is twangy fruit and a winey acidity along with undertones of chocolate, vanilla, toast, and coffee. The mouth feel is a bit weird, lively and refreshing yet tannic and chewy. Mikey Likey, whatever it truly is.
