Bhops (170), Dallas, Texas, USA May 3, 2008 Pours black with dark tan head. Head is not huge but it sticks aorund. Roasted malt/sweet chocolate aroma hits you in the face. I can smell this beer from across the room. You can smell the alcohol too. tastes like a dessert liquor, rich and creamy with chocolate and coffee notes. Nice hoppy bite becomes apparent at the end.
kegbear (58), Orange, California, USA Jul 26, 2008 Thanks to Glouglouburp for this bonus brew. Coffee, dark roasted malt and a bit of ash. Nice dry finish. Super thick tar black like the La Brea pits. No dead dinosaurs floating in the can however. Best beer I’ve had out of a can. Bigmmartin (137), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jul 25, 2008 Can thanks to dkachur! Very dark, black pour with a thick brown frothy head. Strong aroma of sweet roasted malt. Flavor is more sweet roasted malt and hops. Winds down to a bitter, very dry, finish. Has a nice thick, creamy, mouthfeel though. hophead_hans (555), Bay Area, California, USA Jul 19, 2008 Can, thanks Craig. Pours a solid black with a medium brown head. Aromas of chocolate and roasted malts, a bit of coffee. Very smooth on the palate with nice flavors of raosted malts, cacao, coffee and very little hops. Had a bit of a dry, ashen note to it as well. Quite good. nathan30533 (21), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Jul 17, 2008 I would call this one a desert beer. Great tasting, you can most certainly taste the chocolate and cocoa. Overall smooth but a little bit of bubble in the mouth. Not an overwellming aroma but a good one. Looks great, taste great, overall great stout by the oskar blues guys. Taktik_MTL (1843), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Jul 17, 2008 Canette de 12 oz achetée chez Julio’s Liquors (Westborough, MA). Arôme: Odeur de chocolat au lait avec une pointe de café. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col brun crémeux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût très chocolaté avec une pointe de café et de caramel. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est plein avec une texture crémeuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de chocolat amer en arrière goût. (Rating #1826)
