Thin orangish brown head which dissipates quickly. Rich toffee and molasses aroma with some burnt toast and a some raisins. Color is a very dark brown with a hint of red around the edges. Medium bodied with lots of roasted malts, some bitter chocolate and lots of hops bitterness. The bitterness lingers quite a while at the finish with some light coffee and dry cocoa. A surprisingly bitter stout and a pretty good one. Thanks to etowneraser for this one.

Aug 24, 2008 Personal rating number 1800! Bottle. Roast nose with a big nutty component, light smoke and salty dubbel zout licorice. Rich fruity esters as it warms, along with deeper chocolate. Pitch pour with a short, light brown head. Taste is all dark roast, a bit of cocoa and lactose in with light prickly hops. Nuts. Light initial bitterness; thereafter, steadily increasing, rich dark chocolate. Not as salty as expected. Generally a very smooth mouthfeel with a dry smoked aftertaste. Medium-full body and again, really creamy. Faint blackcurrants but no figs or raisins, and really no coffee, either. Alcohol is hidden by a true master - no trace. Smooth, classy, very enjoyable!
