12 oz bottle courtesy of zinister. Pours a dark brown color with red highlights.
The head is tan, big and clumpy; and fades slowly. The aroma is rich with molasses and some coffee. The flavor is a moderate in strength with chocolate and mocha notes. The mouthfeel is full smooth and creamy. The finish is long with anise. Overall: A very drinkable stout--thanks zin, so far I have been very impressed with all the saint arnold stuff.

Sep 5, 2008 12 oz bottle from Kaggie97! Nose is a creamy chocolate, some light vanilla, and roastiness; extremely dark clear brown with a medium beige head; flavor is very chocolatey with a light dose of coffee.

Jul 18, 2008 lb4lb bought me this round. The aroma is fairly fruity with light chocolate and roast notes. Get a pretty good dose of nose tickling co2 as well. The body is a ruby hued black and holds a nice looking, finger thick, tan head that is most lasting, but leaves little lace. Very concentrated roasted malt, bitter dark and sweet milk chocolate, a hint of coffee and a dose of dark fruits that leans to ripe blueberry. This taste much better than I would have guessed from the low score. A bit thin, but not unforgivably so and this is much assuaged by a very tasty flavor profile. Vastly underrated this one.

Jun 30, 2008 Very tasty caramel malts. The whole malt profile is light for a stout; no robust burnt flavors. A bit watery though.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy lb4lb. Thin black pour with a barely perceptible light tan head. Light roasty grain, chocolate malt aroma. Chocolate malt and roasty grain taste, but much thinner than I thought it would be. Very easy drinking cold weather stout.

May 7, 2008 Bottle shared by ogglethorp: Pours a dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma, caramel, some apples. Flavor, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, some coffee, kinda boring.
