Draft: Poured a dark brown color with not much head. The aroma was like a vanilla espresso. The flavor was roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate and a splash of vanilla. Overall, a quality beer with some good flavor.

May 2, 2008 On draft at the brewpub. A boring stout. The pour was dark brown-black, not deep/pitch black, though, head ok initially, thinning to a somewhat weak appearance. The aroma was chocolate w/ some roast and even dark fruits. The flavor followed with oat / grain elements, caramel. Again, as with the BPA, a bit too small/watery, just a weak overall flavor. Watery thin mouthfeel too for a stout. Not a drain pour, but I wouldn’t order it again, although that didn’t matter ahead of the Flyers’ game 4 W over Les Habs.

Nov 12, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub. It’s black (duh). Thin, but sustained cloud cover. Light roasty aroma. Flavor is a bit sour at first, oddly, but the undertow is chocolatey and lightly coffee’d. Bit of a light weight for a stout, but sessionable. (#3192, 11/9/2007)
