HoosierBrew (2), Chicagoland, Illinois, USA does not count Jan 6, 2008 Haven’t had this one for a couple of years- used to get it from the Safeway in Arcata, CA (and for $5.99 for 6 at that.) This was the beer that made me a stout lover. A great, small-brew California stout- dark, murky and mysterious but rich and inviting. TheEpeeist (1429), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 2, 2008 12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a tan coating. Nose of chocolate, prune juice and coffee. Body a tad below medium, tangy carb. Smooth, but flavor a bit thin. Mocha and lemon-lime, black coffee with light drying. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA Jan 2, 2008 black with a thin bubbly head...roasted malt and coffee aroma...hop start with nutty malts blends nicely....crisp finish with a lingering coffee aftertaste .... real nice hops and malt balance .... not as heavy as some stouts...very enjoyable oh6gdx (8795), Vasa, Finland Dec 18, 2007 Bottled (Thanks heemer77). Black/very dark brown colour iwth small brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, some flowery hops and a bit chocolate. Flavour is old acidic coffee, some hops and slightly roasted malts. Quite pleasant, but the coffeeish acidicness makes it a bit out of balance. TBone (6675), Pori, Finland Dec 15, 2007 Bottled
Opaque dark brown color, small brown head. Chocolate, rye bread, glue and hops in the nose. Glueish, very coffeish with some barley wine -like flavors, dark rye bread and roasted malts. Very American style stout. Cold coffee in the aftertaste. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Dec 1, 2007 Bottle from Total Wine in Naples, FL. Pours a deep brown/black with a quickly dissipating brown head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, and balsamic reduction. Medium bodied with thin creamy texture, and slight soda like carbonation. Initial flavor of toasted nuts, maple, dark roast, and raisens. Subtle bitterness mid-palate to balance things out. Roasty finish. Not bad.
