May 10, 2008 Pours a brown color with a brown head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, coffee, raisins, and some earthiness. Flavor is malty, chocolate, roast, cream, and a light fruity finish.

Apr 21, 2008 Growler: Pours an opaque dark mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts with a fresh roasted coffee character. Body starts lightly sweet and fairly full with a toasty caramel and light milk chocolate flavor balanced with a good coffee character. A pretty good coffe stout, with some lingering roasted notes. But could use a little more fullness and complexity.

Mar 20, 2008 12 oz handbottle from Emacgee. Pour is almost pitch black with a huge brownish head. Good initial lacing. Aroma is big coffee and chocolate. Some toffee as well. Flavor is bitter and roasty. Just like a nice cold coffee. Nice body, but just a tad thin. Works well here though. I would love to try this straight form the keg.

Mar 20, 2008 12 oz handbottle shared by Hophead75! Thanks Andrew. Nice handbottle from Emacgee for sure- everythig about this botlte was perfect. Pours a nice deep dark brown with some auburn highlights- and a nice creamy lasting tan head. Aroma is nicely sweet with some caramel amlts, but moslty jsust a ncie smooth coffee tone- more like cappucino-and reminded me of triumph coffee and cream stout from the smoothness and raw fresh coffee. Great smooth chocolately flavor with more fresh coffee, espresso and cappucino, cream and lactose in teh flavor as well but smooth as hell. Went down nice and easy and made me want more. As it warmed everything intensified and got even smoother. Damn- great stout.
