iratherbe (255), Marlton, New Jersey, USA Apr 1, 2006 Starts with a deep robust roasted coffe nose. Very good start. Quite smooth, but that may be due to a thinner body. Again the initial flavor starts well then fades to much ado about not all that. Could be a notch up at the finish. Still solid & pleasing.
unclemike (425), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Dec 3, 2008 pitch black with reddish head that leaves quickly, smells of roasted malts and chocate slight alcohol smell when warmer. A toasted nutty base topped with more like bakesrs choclate than hops. really great beer made in the land of the amish. Haslinger (567), Syracuse, New York, USA Dec 1, 2008 12 ounce bottle. Good subtly sweet aroma, not too overpowering. Nice chocolate coffee flavor with a bit of a bitter aftertaste that lingered for a while in a good way. I liked this one. Would buy again NaturalIce (97), originally from Michigan, New Jersey, USA Nov 26, 2008 12 oz bottle; Typical sweet stout aroma with hints of coffee. The ’sweet’ is the first sensation you get when drinking this beer and is probably what turned me off slightly. The finish is much better with chocolate and coffee notes that unsweeten the beer overall. Decent beer but not my favorite style of stout. brew4fun (137), West Virginia, USA Nov 1, 2008 Deepest ruby in color, when held up to the autumn sun. Short head dissloving to a thin ring rather quickly, leaving no traces. Lightly aromatic, of roasted and chocolate malts. Flavor has an earthy bittersweet quality, dark chocolate bitterness overlaying the lactose component, just a little sour(?). Adequate but not powerful flavor, lightly carbonated, rather thin body. Easily drinkable, a decent stout. smjohnst (175), , Pennsylvania, USA Oct 27, 2008 Very nice stout. I guess it did have a hint of milk or lactose in there but it was just a good solid stout. A nice chocolate and coffee kind of finish to it.
