blipp (599), Grand Island, New York, USA May 6, 2008 Draft at Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Pours almost black with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and dark chocolate. Medium body. Flavor is burnt wood, caramel and floral hops. Nice.
Brewbie (120), New York, USA Jul 25, 2008 growler. dark balck with a nice tan head. light aroma of cocoa. seemed a bit thin to me, with a very very light taste of chocolate thenick (509), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 4, 2008 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a nice deep brown/black color with a fluffy tan/cream head. Aroma is heavily roasted malt with a little toffee thrown in. Taste is the same, with added wood, coffee, and chocolate notes adding to the experience. I enjoyed it. shadey (1298), Rochester, New York, USA Jun 27, 2008 On tap at MacGregor’s in Henrietta. Black color with a dark tan head of nitro-induced fluff. The aroma is muted - I could only smell the roast and maybe a hint of something toffee-ish. The flavor was a bit more complex. Some burnt wood, toffee, and just a touch of sweetness. The body was silky smooth, although I’m sure the nitro tap had a lot to do with it. A very easy drinking, pleasant experience. bgburdman9 (708), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 5, 2008 Had on tap at Mad Mex. Aroma was light chocolate and roast. Pretty easy to drink stout. I could have put down a few of these. Talked to the brewery rep and even got a free hennepin out of it!
