Dark black pour with a watery tan head. Smell is super sweet pecans - almost sugary sweet. Flavor is mostly off fruits that aren’t too enjoyable. Overall, not great.

Jun 30, 2008 12 oz. Black with a two finger, creamy and lasting head. Aromas of coffee, caramel, cocoa, raisins, and spicy dried wood. Flavor is coffee, dates, cocoa, spicy hickory, piquant herbs and slight sour cream. Lots of coffee, cocoa and oak on the dry finish. Medium body is lightly tingly, a tad watery, soft and dry.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle in trade with Ibrew2or3. Thanks!
Pours dark black with a small tan head. Smell is soy suace, fig like dark fruit and the taste is rich, very slightly roasty and tart, dark ripe fruits. Tastes better than it smells with less soy sauce character. Bit of an oily body with medium carbonation. Not my style of stout, but well enough made, I imagine.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. This brew had chocolate flavors thoughout and was fairly smooth. A little coffee and dark fruits. ...I’d try the vanilla ice cream pairing, but I’m lactose and have replaced milk with beer.

Jun 22, 2008 Pours inky black and slightly oily with a dark brown creamy head which dissipated quickly. Aroma is of light grassy hops, coffee, and dark chocolate. Nice roasty complex flavors of dark chocolate and a slight fruitiness I’d associate with dark fruits with a bitter hop finish. Well balanced and full bodied. Slightly sweet, but not overdone. Very nice.

Jun 20, 2008 Black on the pour with a small fading tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, coffee and some roast. Taste is complex and well balanced, a full mouthfeel. Tastes of chocolate, coffee and a solid roasty backbone. Slightly dry finish, but rather well done
