Mar 24, 2008 4oz Taster - Spring Beer & Wine Festival - Portland OR
Aroma – Huge dark malt aroma with coffee and chocolate aromas.
Appearance – Dark black in color, Nice head and clear.
Flavor – Great stout flavor this was huge with great coffee and chocolate flavors also. There was some hops but they where not s huge they kicked your teeth in.
Palate – Great Stout Mouthfeel, great texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – One of the better Stouts for the day and the best for organic I have had. The flavors where strong and great. This was for the big beer drinker and people love this beer.

Feb 8, 2008 4th Brewery 07-08 Brew Trip with Bikesandbeer. Pours black with a light brown ring head. Nose of light malt. Taste is decent for the style but the alcohol is really way too low and was really ot enough for me.

Dec 23, 2007 On tap at Roots--Poured a deep brown-black body with a quickly dissipating medium foamy tan head. Nose of big roasted chocolate malts. Thick chocolate flavor with vanilla cream notes. As the beer warmed up, bitterness came to light and dominated towards the end. Good beer.

Nov 19, 2007 Tap @ Brewpub: Dark black, nose of chocolate and cocoa, some mid level roast without any astringency. Licorice and sweet malt. The flavor is moderately bodied, good vanilla cream notes in the tail. The finish is lightly bourbony with some faint wood and vanilla. Alcohol, smoke. Good stout, could use a bit more complexity to drive it up there, but this hits everything I like.
