Poured from bottle into pint glass. Pours opaque brown/black with good light-brown head. Head all but diminishes; laces ok. Nice toasted malty smell with hints of caramel and dark chocolate. Flavor carries through but not as strong as it smells. Not very sweet flavor - has a bit of a burnt charcoal flavor. Finishes slightly bitter and acidic. Body is watery for such a dark brew with light carbonation and slight alcoholic feel. It’s good, but there are much better stouts out there.

This stout pours black with a quickly-dissolving head. It has a great roasted flavor, with, for me, just the right balance between sweet and bitter. But it’s way too thin. I want that same balance, but with more sweetness and more bitterness and a rounder mouthfeel..

Pours an opaque almost black with a finger of head and ok lacing. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Semi-sweet dark chocolate and roasty notes with appropriate bitterness. Crisp and thin mouthfeel. Too much so for the style. Average stout, had much better.

Aroma is an inviting combination of roasted coffee & chocolate. It pours a thick black with virtually no head. A definite coffee taste with a subtle caramel hints. The palate does leave a slight alcoholic residue. Overall very impressive!

Not a giant fan of this one. An attractive, dark beer, but the licorice aroma and stale coffee flavor were overpowering. Not smooth the way I expect my dry stouts to be. Bought this for Rebecca’s Posada in 2012.

Prototype stout v1.0. Pours deep brown with a slight tan head. No real lacing. Big fresh chocolate and coffee aromas. Taste is a nice roast with a bit of chocolate. Nice dry finish.

Excellent local stout. Still trying to figure out the overall flavor, a bit chocolate and a bit coffee.

On tap at the brewery. Comes almost black with a small tan head. Aroma of malt and chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit. A bit thin. Decent.

Bottle. Delicious. Smooth and lighter in body than you would expect, and not nearly as bitter as it looks. beautiful black body and a medium brown head that dissipates fairly quickly to a thin head film. Wonderful Experience and a delightful stout.
