12oz bottle 2005-2006 release via trade with Indiana_Red - Thanks Ken! - Gushed out of the bottle when the cap was popped. Poured thick black with a big mocha head that fades pretty quick. Big aroma of coffee. molasses, and some baker’s chocolate. Flavor is nice coffee, and baker’s chocolate with a touch of molasses and nuts. Nice dry finish. Palate is full bodied but very smooth and drinkable. Nice dry finish makes this seem more like a dry stout. Lots of burnt flavor throughout. Very interesting and quite tasty.

A Mes rate:
Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Black as night. Rich roasty aroma that is very good indeed. Thick dark chocolate flavour with coffee, vanilla and more roasted malt. Gloriously smooth on the palate. Full bodied stout that is fairly straight down the line but jolly tasty.

650 ml. bottle. Pours a medium lasting mocha colored head, with light lacing, over a blackish brown (SRM 40) opaque body.....nose is light coffee, chocolate, bit of soy, bit of Marmite, light herb hop.....taste is dry to start, then light coffee, chocolate, beef, soy arrive, with a medium hop bitter finish....mouth feel is thick, carbonation adds a creamy texture. This is a well made Stout. It has the right nose and flavors and the lovely mouth feel. It is not quite an Imperial, but is excellent none the less. BJCP 7/3/15/5/8
