slimweebs (139), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jun 3, 2004 Updated: Oct 9, 2004One of my favorite local beers. It has a nice roasted flavor, but its flavor is well balanced and not overpowering. There’s hints of chocolate, nuts, and coffee. I could drink this beer everyday for the rest of my life. Plus, what a sweet name. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA May 30, 2004 Dark brown in color, kinda light in color for a stout. Toasty aroma with a hint of chocolate. Decent coffee and chocolate flavor, but the stout was a little thin tasting for my liking. Its kinda strang cause this used to be one of my favorite beers, i guess i have moved on now. SiddFinch (154), Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 22, 2004 On Tap, Seattle: Slightly roasted and coffee flavors. Overall, very thin. flutetokill (515), Fresno, California, USA Mar 17, 2004 Very dark brown color with a small beige head. Strong roasted coffee bean aroma, with a little malt. Lots of coffee, some malt and chocolate. Good. loweredsixth (942), Fresno, California, USA Mar 17, 2004 Dark brown color, almost opaque, with some ruby highlights and a small beige head. The aroma was dominated by strong roasted coffee tones...some chocolate as it warmed. The flavor was equally one-dimensional...tons of coffee. Fizzy mouthfeel...not appropriate for a stout. Nuffield (2718), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Mar 16, 2004 Unexceptional to my taste, especially compared to the quality of their porter. Some hops in the flavor, not exceptionally rich, nor a long finish. I guess I defined this beer by what it was not. A ring of head with a slightly hazy and very opaque appearance. Sorry, it just didn't impress me. (on tap at Ringlers/Crystal Ballroom, Portland) bako666 (1), USA does not count Feb 17, 2004 It's the best beer there is, nothing compeers. The taste is unbelievable and you drink it pitcher after pitcher after pitcher. If you like dark beer this is the best. aracauna (2357), Georgia, USA Feb 10, 2004 Dark, but not really black. I can see a ruby red glittering through the middle from a distance. The head is a yellow tan, a bit fizzy and short lived. The aroma is roasty, but little else. The flavor is a bit cola-like, a bit of smoke, a little chocolate and nuts. Interesting but a bit thin.
