Aug 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to kyzr. Pours with a large, rocky brown head covering a black body. Good lacing. Aroma of rosted malts, honey, and chocolate. Taste is of coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Good stout.

Aug 18, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a coffee aroma. There is a rich malt flavor that is heavy on coffee and chocolate. This is not a sweet beer but is, rather, very dry with a bitter chocolate finish. A nice brew that is quite unique among stouts.

Aug 16, 2008 Black in color with a thin head that quickly dissipated. The nose showed smokey aromas of dark chocolate, coffee graonds and a bit of vanilla. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with plenty of carbonation. A nice, easily drinkable stout.

Aug 11, 2008 Bomber. Pours black with just slight ruby glints in the light. The head is sparse and spotty, though really nice lacing is left on the goblet after a swirl. I get baking chocolate, nutshells, hickory smoke, and coffee in the aroma. It seems to be bittersweet and borderline tannic. Yeah, this is rather bitter in the flavor and dry all the way to the finish, though it is clean. The bitterness comes across with lots of wooden flavors and suggestions of cacao and espresso. Very little sweetness is present. . .maybe some licorice in the finish. This is one dry stout and remarkably balanced and drinkable at that. Pretty well put together, if I do say so myself.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours black from the bottle. Very rich and intense. Lingering flavor, with notes of dark chocolate and coffee. Thumbs up....
