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.

Aug 29, 2008 Not stouty enough to be a stout. Advert says a awesome head, when mine dissipated faster than the Cubs in the playoffs. Malty definitely, but another one of those beers where the finish is dead. And watery as hell.

Aug 25, 2008 Black in colour, receding head. Faint smell, typical stout flavours without pushing the envelope; chocolate, malt, roasted barley. Finish was weak and copper-like. Overall, I couldn’t really get into this one.

Aug 25, 2008 This has another nice Mendocino noble bird label. The aroma is floral hops, coffee, and dark bread. Black pour with a light head and no lace. The taste is first rate - dry, bready, and complex. Coffee and hops come thru in the finish. It is fairly light-bodied for a stout, but still flavorful. This is another good brew from Mendocino,.
