(Bottle 22oz.) A big chocolate head covering a deep brown-black body. Aroma of roasted coffee and nuts. A flavor that is more on the sweet side than dry. I like the beer because it is thinner than a imperial stout yet more robust than a dry. As the beer warms the complexity certainly shines. Very good.

Aug 31, 2008 From a 22 0z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of dark chocolate and coffee. Earthy hop aroma. Opaque black with a thick light brown head. Citrusy hop flavors followed by bready malt and then chocolate and roast. Not overly bitter. Balanced nicely with the hops and malt. Dry, no residual sweetness, but thick and chewy. Very nice.

Aug 15, 2008 Veltety black color and thick dark tan froth and faint burnt malt and bready aroma. Taste is an immediate and strong mouthful of roast espresso and smooth creamy palate.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours opaque black. No light comes through whatsoever, not even around the edges of the glass. Head is brown, one of the darker heads I’ve seen. Aroma is heavily roasted malt, I don’t pick up anything burnt in the aroma. Smells very smooth. Flavor is very dry. Lots of roasted malt, no astringency. Body is surprisingly light considering how rich this beer is. Very nice stout.

~Mouth feel is nice. Smooth, creamy and light. Frothy.
~ This is a very enjoyable stout. Plenty of flavor, but still a bit light. Easy to drink a few of these.
