Dec 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich dark black with very little of the deep tan head showing up. Slight alcohol smells are hidden behind a rich roasted smell with coffee and malt notes. Body is thin to medium. Flavors are subdued, as is the finish which is faintly smoky. I am not getting a whole lot of stout, more coffee mostly.

Jan 30, 2008 After reading this: http://ratebeer.com/forums/dear-stouts:-a-john-dea remembered that I had a stout in my fridge that I had not rated. I poured it into a classic Guinness glass and recoiled in horror as I discovered that it was clear and dark brown. Not black at all, just a shade darker than Newcastle. Some coffee in the aroma and some lame sourness. The flavor is acidic with some coffee notes but not a lot. Very thin and fizzy. This is sort of butt.

Dec 3, 2003 Updated: Jan 11, 2004Dark black stout with a creamy brown head. The thick roast coffee aroma is awesome. Overall flavor was good, but maybe a little too rich/powerful. It was both sweet and bitter... almost like there was too much of both. The beer seemed a little thick going down, but has a good aftertaste.

Apr 9, 2004 very deep brown, reddish color, zero head. aroma is part roastiness, part chocolate. flavor lacks most of the chocolate and is pretty much roastiness with a fair amount of hop bitterness. there is a metallic taste and chalky feel. it's just ok.
