3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
[1098-20080216] Tap @ Pike brewpub (Seattle, WA). Mocha roasted malt aroma. Black body with a long-lasting creamy tan head and thick lacing. Very thick burnt coffee malt roast flavour. Rough and thickly full body. Overpowering coffee but a solid stout regardless.

Pours jet oily black, with a small, swirly light brown head. Very syrupy sweet nose, alot of caramel, chocolate, licorice, light coffee, and dark malt are all abundant and sharp. The flavor is bigger on the roast then I got in the nose, tons of bitter dark chocolate, caramel malt, and subtle hops in the finish. Really enjoyed the balance and its full flavoredbody. Pretty kick ass stout.

Bomber from acertain as a bonus in a trade we did last fall. Thanks again! The pour was super dark brown and nearly viscous. A small dark tan, light brown head popped up briefly. A very nice looking beer. The aroma was roast malt, coffee and thin chocolate. Faint hops noticed as the beer opened up. The flavor was a nice blend of smoke, roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Better than average mouthfeel. A very well built, very nice stout.

Nov. 2007 - Dark brown pour with aroma of roast. The flavor is chalky milk bitter chocolate with coffee notes. Not a bad offering. Thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing.

Thanks to Old Mr. Crow for this. Pours onyx with 1-finger of dark brown head. Aroma is patent malt, prunes, licorice, coffee, and chocolate. Tastes roasty, dark malty, with pruny, coffee, licorice, and dark chocolate notes, and a rich, complex palate. This is a very good stout.

bottle from trade with 5000. Good aroma, bitter. Baking chocolate, anise/licourice, little smoky, vineous. Brownish black color, 1st pour had a small head with minor lace. 2 pour I dumped alittle more and got a better head, still minor lace. Bitter flavor. largely the vine coming through, maybe even a steely bitterness. Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitter finish. Likeable stout. though it’s bitterness made the flavor very one sided, not alot to lock onto.
