Very dark pour sits opaque in the glass. Ruby tinged cocoa head retains well and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is milk chocolate and overroasted coffee. Taste has a nice dark roasty bitterness with some hints of chocolate. Hints of anise and pine hops add some interest. A good American stout.

Jul 3, 2008 Nice black color, tan head. Flavor is good. A bit creamy, with some sweetness to it. Rich but flavorful. Impressed.

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.

does not count  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.
