330ml bottle. Pours a pitch black with mahogany hues and a 2 finger tan head that receding into a soap scum topper, but still left decent lacing. Nose is ripe dark fruits and roasted malts. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, dried fruit and burnt brown sugar. A mellow light coffee finishes it out. Nice creamy mouth feel. The ABV is hidden perfectly. Good stout.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours like an Indian Ocean Guinness, dark black coloring with a brown head that took a minute to settle. The initial aroma is hoppy, unique and not like American or European hops. Sweet flavor with only a hint of malt and smoke. The heavy alcohol is completely hidden even in the clean after taste.

Bottle. Pours almost black with a rather large head. Roasted malty. A bit sweet with notes of coffe and chocolate. Feels a bit too alcoholic for me and also a bit too high carb for me.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2005 I had it on tap at Andy’s. It has a variety of different flavors in it. It is dark brown in color with a nice fluffy head. It is a lovely stout. Nice and robust coffee flavor. Slight hop character. Caramel notes. Well balanced beer. Full bodied. Enjoyable.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Deep black, light tan creamy head. The nose was a rich and complex mix of roasted bittersweet chocolate malt, berry, vanilla, and hints of caramel. The flavor was full of soft roasty notes and bittersweet cocoa, with additional berry and coffeeish flavors throughout. A very nice hop bitterness brings it all together in the end to maintain balance. Medium to full bodied, pillow soft carbonation, velvety, dry, light bittersweet chocolate finish. Reminds me of a softer version of the Brooklyn BCS. Very nice stout...
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle. pitch black body with a large rich mocha head. aroma is largely of roasted malt and creamy coffee notes. creamy roast body with lots of chocolate essence. silky smooth body with a touch of alcohol peering through in the finish. a very nice stout. hopefully the LCBO keeps this on hand on their general list and at $1.85/bottle you can’t go wrong.
