RCL (855), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Apr 8, 2008 NIce black pour with a thinner tan head. Nice lactic aroma. Flavor is a bit reminiscent of dry Hershey’s syrup.
kramer17801 (1742), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear very dark brown body with a one finger fizzy brown head that faded quickly leaving some minimal lacing. Nose is chocolaty and roasty with a nice lactose and coffee accent. Flavor has a nice slightly sweet lactose sugar note up front backed up by a roasty and coffee maltiness. A little chalkiness on the finish. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied with a slight risidual sugar clinginess. Soft, but very active fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was a pretty nice one, but the mouthfeel was a little thin and too fizzy. dirtymike (2019), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Mar 17, 2005 Pours black in color with a small tan head. Sweet malt aroma with touches of chocolate,vanilla and caramel. Flavors of chocolate,vanilla, sweet yet finishes dry and roasted. Creamy,silky mouthfeel. Nice job. Volgon (2457), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Nov 29, 2004 Black with a thick rocky tan head. Chocolate aroma with a hint of vanilla and coffee, full bodied with a bit of fizzy carbonation, starts and ends lightly sweet with a touch of bitterness. Nicely put together. fishonmyplane (107), Granby, Connecticut, USA Jul 9, 2004 Nice dark color with a tan head. The flavor is very good, consisting mostly of roasty bitterness with some sweetness, and a little kick from the hops. This is a very smooth stout, a great brew to relax with.
