Near black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of raisins, dark chocolate, rum and a slight herbal edge. Flavour of coffee, chocolate and dark fruit with a bitter roasty finish. Easy drinking for the ABV with a creamy mouth feel.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 coyotehunter (621) - , Michigan, USA - MAR 8, 2009
Good nose of Coffee and chocolate, with notes of dark fruit and brown sugar. Pours black with a good tan head that laces well.
Tastes of chocolate, coffee and caramel at first then some dark fruit comes out. Much better than I expected, with my only real complaint going to the body. Rather watered down. Other than that a good beer.

bottle - Pours very dark brown with a medium sized fading tan head. It smells of smoky roast malt with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is of dark roast malts with coffee and chocolate notes. It’s fairly bubbly on the palate and finishes dry. Very nice stout.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 Andbrewer (18) - St. Joseph, Missouri, USA - MAR 5, 2009
Pours dark black, coffee in color, very frothy tan head. Aroma of malt and slight hint of chocolate. Rather sweet. Subtle taste of coffee and chocolate. Simi-watery body, definitely not a thick stout, but not completely watery. Finish of chocolate that doesn’t linger long. This in definitely one of my favorite beers, however, I have to admit I’m a bit bias. This beer will always be special to be simply for the fact that it was the first legal beer I had.

Had this one in bottle at Kelleys Island Brewery back in August this past year. Was very weird, smells of fruit and overly sugared coffee. Tasted of brown sugar, lager, and fruit. Weak aftertaste. Watery body.
