A very nice dark color. Roasty toasty with with hints of coffee and chocolate. Not too creamy, but a full body and good finish.

On tap at ABC 09.09.2011 with Andy, James and Dallas for Dallas’ bachelor weekend. Black pour with a bright red hue and a light tan head that leaves a streaky, foggy sort of lacing. Very roasty nose and palate; sweetness upfront and dryness to finish. Complex.

Bottle. Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma was roasty with coffee and chocolate. Smooth and creamy flavor of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, a touch of smoke and a hint of molasses.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle from Craft Beer Club. Black pour with a dark brown head that collapses to nearly nothing and leaves almost no lacing. Aroma is heavy coffee, roasty to the point of smelling smoky. Flavor is outright smoke, like a rauchbier, followed by a blast of medium-roast coffee, then fading through a variety of chocolate malts. Tasty!

Great beer. Chocolate roasted malts and sweetness are some flavors found here.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
July 31, 2011; 12 oz. bottle sampled in English pint glass. Malty & roasty; coffee notes abound. Low carbonation. Hearty, but not overpowering. Some bitterness on the finish, but nothing overly-hoppy busting through. Well-done, all around.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Looks creamy. Smells roasty with a touch of iodine and heaps of hazelnut. Ooh, it’s sweet! Smooth and sleek with plenty of light caramel flavours which are then offset by a burnt, dry finish. A delicate and quaffable beer. Mellow but with a really satisfying BBQ smoke finish amongst all that dryness. It maybe tightens the back of my tongue a little too much as it washes over but that is my only qualm with this balanced and interesting stout.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours an inky black with a two finger creamy mocha tan head. The nose was a bit roasty, chocolaty, some coffee, sweet, light tobacco, rich. The flavor was choclaty, some bitter coffee, light alcohol, sweet, moderate bitterness. Very full and smooth mouthfeel.
