Thanks to Hellbilly for this bottle. Vintage November 2007. Dark brown pour with thick khaki colored head and drippy lace. Caramelized sugar and coffee on the nose. Medium bodied. Flavor dominated by chocolate malts, cream, and coffee

Pours dark, dark brown (almost black) with a small, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is of vanilla, brown sugar, dark-roasted coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is similar with more chocolate than coffee, a fair amount of sweetness, light malts, and a slight bitter note. Mouthfeel is very, very smooth with a pretty dry finish. The flavor is not overly complex but the beer itself is extremely drinkable. I dig it.

Pours a jet black with little head. Aroma is of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, brown sugar and roasted coffee beans. Heavy mouthfeel. Taste is of strong coffee with little bitterness in the finish. I’d like to see some stronger hop characteristics with this one. This is quite one dimensional. It’s not one of my favorites.

pitch black with quickly disappearing white head. large coffee nose. the major flavors in this beer are the coffee and the bittering hops and it is difficult to determine exactly when which one is contributing. chocolate malt is definitely also present. overall though it doesn’t have a ton of complexity, the bitterness dominates. overall it is a good but not exemplary stout.

Dark brown color with light brown head, though there is little head to be seen. Aroma full of coffee and light malt. Hits the palate the same way with an addition of light chocolate and cream. Chocolate gets stronger with each sip. Mildly bitter that drinks smooth with a smooth, lingering finish. Very drinkable.

This one has a dark brown color with a medium beige head. Aroma is dominated by a light roast, some chocolate, and medium coffee with cream. Flavor has a good deal of creamy coffee with a nutty roast and chocolate in the background. A good stout that I had hoped would be more aggressive. Still tasty and highly drinkable.

Pours dark black with light brown head. Very silky and smooth. Slight coffee aroma with dark roasted malts. The coffee is pretty subtle but becomes more noticable in the aftertaste. Goes down way too easy for 8%. This beer still has some bitterness to it that comes through in the coffee flavor as it smishes around your mouth. Great beer!!
