bb (2168), Martinez, California, USA May 2, 2008 Bottle. Ruby-black beer with a tan head. Chocolate/roasty aroma. Roasty, nutty, caramel flavor with enough hops to back. Medium bodied. Lingering caramel, roast, light bittering.
Homerlikebeer (19), Petaluma, California, USA Aug 1, 2008 Great price at Trader Joe’s in Petaluma, CA!
Dark bownn hue , great aroma and nutty malty flavor. Great w/ meat mcnally (114), Burbank, California, USA Jul 6, 2008 Dark brown pour with small diminishing head. Weak aroma of burnt malt. Flavor mirrors the aroma- some burnt notes with nuttiness. Metal in the finish. Mouthfeel is much thicker than expected though. Apparently, no one can better old Arthur Guinness. Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Porus a deep browht with a thin light head. Aroma is light roasted barley and chocoolate nuttiness, but also has a strange off artificial sweetness. Flavor alsohas that sacharin sweetness, with some dry nutty chocolate malts- finishes a bit metallic- with a dry and dusty mouthfeel. I wasnt crazy about this one. larryLSB (17), La Selva Beach, California, USA Jun 1, 2008 Out of a bottle, from Trader Joe’s. Poured a beautiful dark, deep brown with a hint of red, nice frothy good sized dark tan head. Strong coffee taste, with a hint of chocolate. Smell reminded me more of chocolate than coffee though. Nice dry finish. Best buy at that price. Rciesla (871), Brick City, New Jersey, USA May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black body with some ruby hues and a delicate tan head. Aroma is chocolate malt, and some roastiness. Light bodied stout with a mouth drying finish. Just an easy low abv stout here.
