UPDATED: FEB 27, 2010 From a cool looking can - brought back from Andersons in Toledo by my lovely wife. Black/brown pour with a huge tan head and lacy stick. Sweet roasty aroma of cherry, caramel, alcohol and wood. Nice slick and milky thin taste of the same - also with chocolate and coffee. Finishes crisp dry and long lasting. This is a fantastic drinkable stout. Would go in the rotation if I could get it regularly.

draft @ redlight redlight. Sweet chocolate malts on the nose with hints of vanilla and coffee. Pours black with a thick beige head, very dense. Rich chocolate flavors, bitter dark chocolate with vanilla notes and cafe mocha. Very rich and chocolatey and very smooth.

Can - Oh yeah...dark black pour with a big tan head. Smells sweet, but not overpowering, with molasses, brown sugar, and some milkiness. Taste is about the same, with some light roast throughout. There’s also a little whiskey, and the brown sugar/molasses really shows through on the finish. Nice heat. It’s a little thinner and more watery than expected, but smooth.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2010 330ml bottle pours very dark brown with a large tan head that retains well and leaves a moderate amount of lacing. Aroma is sweet chocolate, coffee, some licorice, figs, dark fruits, and lactose. Flavor is smooth milk chocolate, coffee, some licorice, touch of sourness, alcohol is well hidden. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin, but still velvety for what is there, low carbonation. Very good overall, but I like Fade to Black a little better.

Poured very dark with tan head. Taste was very dry. It did have a funky yeast taste to it. Very toasty aftertaste. Nice and smooth finish
