Tap at the brewpub. Dark brown/black pour with a dark brown head. Aroma is sweet and quite coffeeish with a nice herbal dark chocolate character on the back. Rich chocolatey flavour with some lingering herbal notes. Roasty maltiness with some nice sweetness at the same time. Very nice balance of sweetness, dark malts, and roastiness. A very nice stout.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle on 07/03/2008. Dark black body with a medium very creamy tan head. Roasted malt, chocolate and light caramel aroma. Very smooth chocolate and roast flavor, with very subtle bitter in the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a very creamy mouthfeel.

Jul 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with fizzy, pillowy chocolate head that dissipates from two fingers to 1/2 a finger. Slightly metallic, coffee nose and mild caramel. Taste is roasted coffee with milk chocolate and caramel sweetness and a mildly astringent bitter. Rater dry finish with a mocha frapaccino taste lingering into the after. Pretty decent sweet stout.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle - Had this at a tasting in the Devonshire and on tap. Nice dark pour with a creamy light tan head. Malty cream body with a roasted touch. Chocolate and coffee flavor hints with some sweetness. Very nice on the pallet and a pleasant texture, good drinker.

Jun 15, 2008 Poured black with coffee roasty aroma. Flavor was also of coffee roastedness. Nice flavor although palate was a bit thin. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008

Jun 13, 2008 I sampled this at the grand opening of The Perfect Pour in Columbia. It was pretty good, so I got a 6er. It pours very dark almost black with a nice creamy light brown head. There is a mild malty aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. The taste is on the mild side. Though listed as a sweet stout it seemed just on the border of dry and sweet. The flavors of coffee & chocolate mirrored the aroma with a subtle sweetness and bit of a smokey finish. A nice smooth drinkable beer.
