22 oz bottle pours a deep brown with a light brown fluffy head. Aroma is some what faint scents of milk chocolate, light coffee/roast and sweet malt. Flavor is fairly sweet and malty with moderate chocolate, coffee/roasted flavors. Well balanced bitterness, softly hopped. Nice mellow molasses flavor in the sweet long finish. Moderate mouthfeel and moderately carbonated.

Jun 11, 2008 Sample at the Most Honorable SuperHappyFun Stout Tasting, thanks Dogbrick: Dark pour with generous bubbly and frothy head. Carbonation and malts initially sting the tongue. Hint of vinegar amongst roasted chocolate malts. Sharp and bitter at points. Sort of all over the place. I thought I was really going to like this, based on the Stout I have tried by the same Brewery but alas, no. A miss.

Jun 10, 2008 Sample at the Most Honorable SuperHappyFun Stout Tasting. Bottle from Bevmo in Palmdale, CA. This brew pours the color of a cold cup of coffee with a medium khaki head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee, burnt malt and some dark chocolate. Medium, dry body with notes of coffee, dark fruit and toasted malt. The finish is burnt malt with a lingering hoppy taste left over. Above average overall.

May 3, 2008 Pours a nearly opaque with dark mahogany edges and a thin, wispy-lacing tan head. Roasty coffee and dark chocolate nose with a smooth malty character. Starts with an effervescent lightly sweet dark caramel flavor before a milk chocolatey finish. A pretty good porter.
