jah noth (940), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 29, 2004 Hello there excellent brew, very nice to meet you. This is a world class beer IMO. Nice roasted malt aroma with faint hops. Pitch black in color. Pours with a nice, thick, fluffy head that lingers. This is a full bodied brew, almost thick like a milkshake. Nice roasted malt flavor with a topnotch assembly of hops. Long bitter finish. Exquisite brew. Thanks to Derek Arent for the sample. xsketchyx (184), Oregon, USA Feb 14, 2004 Updated: Feb 28, 2004Everything a stout should be, nutty and fruity with a burnt taste. Just about perfect. kenb (944), Oregon, USA Sep 17, 2006 22 oz bottle via Pelican Brewpub. Pours a thick pitch black with a large tan head. Mild aroma of vanilla, cream, and some subtle chocolate. Full bodied. Sweet flavors of creamy oatmeal and chocolate with a roasty bittersweet finish. Well carbonated. My favorite Foreign Stout so far, even surpassing the excellant Lion Stout. hellbilly (906), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jan 20, 2008 bomber by way of kenb. a near black viscous pour with a thin cocoa colored head. robust aroma of roasty malts, chocolate, smokey coffee and hot cream. the palate is surprisingly dry and every part of the word robust (again!). MEAT, malt, chocolate, charcoal, wood and a light sourness in the middle. smokey and dry finish with some coffee as well. these all linger in the aftertaste. full bodied with an amazingly smooth creamy texture. complex and beautiful. Slick (1956), Minnesota, USA Feb 23, 2004 Dark black color,medium sized tan head that had a decent hang time and left behind a nice lace.The aroma was chocolate and roasty malt,coffee and caramel.The flavor was outstanding malty and chocolate with a nice hop presence maybe a bit more alcohol then it let on and mild notes of coffee and possibly a mild sweet side.This was one hell of a brew and more then worth getting a few more for later,which i'm glad to say i definately did.
