First rating for a brewery I’ve often noted on display at every venue I shop; this one is the first from a sampler...jet black body with a swift diminishing head that turns to basically a penicl thin moustache... sweet caramel notes and peat--a bit thin to probing nostrils... thin, slightly creamy; medium bodied and pleasant.... sweet, smooth peaty and a bit malty under the tongue--surprisingly balanced... notmilky and smooth, not hot or smoked-- a flexible, companionable beer, especially with old friends like Greg, Nikki, Dave and Jenn on a snow day...

Jul 14, 2008 nice appearance with pitch black color and solid white head with good retention. flavor is mostly of roasted malt with some chocolate. a little hop bitterness with a dry finish. a nice mild version of a stout that sticks to the guidelines but isn’t overly aggressive, overall it is a well made, if not overly flavorful, beer

Jul 13, 2008 12oz bottle-Pours a black ruby body with a small loose tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and burnt malt. Taste of the same with a nice roasted coffee taste that develops throughout the mouthful on this full bodied brew. A decent tasting stout.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark brown with a small creamy head. The aroma has chocolate and roasted barley. Tastes include the above noted aromas, It has a sweetness attributed to the chocolatey notes. Overall a decent stout, not my favorite, but a good drink.
