bigtaster (93), Grand Rapids, USA Jul 8, 2008 On tap at bar. Very smoky aroma and flavor. Full bodied jet black. Nice surprise. spitfire9703 (3), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA does not count May 16, 2008 Very smooth, many friends from school, Michigan Tech, say it is like Guinness but way better. Dark, almost black color is almost misleading as it is not very heavy. Good flavors and almost no bitterness. muzzlehatch (4422), Burlington, Vermont, USA Aug 31, 2006 5 oz draught sample at the brewpub, late July 2006. Huge thick speckles of lace, a dark tan head atop the jet, thick body...doesn’t appear to be on nitro.....touches of butter alas but the creamy latte tones soon help to forgive this problem, and a light bitter chocolate waft increases the anticipation....on the tongue it’s blue/blackberry fruitiness, light chocolate, with little roastiness and a thin, watery finish....mixed, very mixed, like most of the beers here its problematic but has potential. awaisanen (1100), Irvine, California, USA Jan 2, 2006 Dark black beer with a creamy head that appears to be modeled after guiness. Chocolate and coffee aromas dominate and a hint of nutty malts come through on the palate. Pleasing overall, and much better than most bulk cream stouts purchased from the store. robertsreality (2462), Minnesota, USA Apr 12, 2005 Dark Dark Brown with Bubbly Ring. Rich Malt Aroma. Subtle.. Malt and Coffee Roasts. A Bit Watery Overall and Lacks a Good Potency For Those Flavors. Still a Drinkable Stout.
