Nov 28, 2004 Poured with a large head malt coffee aroma, roasted malt taste with a slightly bitter finish. Pretty much on the thin side, a hot summer day stout.

Nov 25, 2004 Bottle Pours a solid black with a large fluffy light brown/tan head. Aromas are mostly roasted/burnt malts and a slightly sour woddy note. Flavor is a bitter/sour smokey taste that just doesn’t quite do it. Feel is a bit thin, more like a porter maybe. Carbonation is soft and the trailer is a sour astringent taste. Dissapointing.

Nov 4, 2004 Out of the bottle this pours a very dark brown almost black with a fast falling light brown head. Very roasty coffee aroma, rich and sweet. Taste starts with a quick jolt of dark chocolate, then leads into a rich sweet maltiness which is finished off by a well balanced bitterness. Coffee trails off in the aftertaste. A good smooth stout with a good roasty kick to it.

Oct 26, 2004 Reddish black with a thin wisp of a brown head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is a very vague air of thin coffee. Flavorwise, I mostly discern a bitter smokiness. It’s thin and watery, not the best stout I’ve ever had.

Oct 10, 2004 Very dark opaque pour with a decent tan head.
The aromas are nice. but subtle. I was hoping they would intensify with some warming. Roast malt, chocolate, some smokyness.
The flavor was not overly sweet, roasty with a dry smooth finish, but a little thin. Not bad, very much on a par with the other Mendocino brews I have had.

Sep 19, 2004 It smells like popcorn. The appearance is the best quality of this beer. Black with a thick, creamy tan head. Flavor of coffee. Too bitter.
