ketchepillar (312), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jun 30, 2008 Very tasty caramel malts. The whole malt profile is light for a stout; no robust burnt flavors. A bit watery though.
Sammy (3242), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 26, 2008 Pours black with foaming brown head, that quickly dissipitates. Neutral aroma, faint roast. A bit thin mouthfeel, with ground powdered coffee taste, backed by malt. OK, but rather plain stout. Carbonation is fine.
IrishBoy (2211), Bakersfield, California, USA 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. Retorp (2156), Tampa, Florida, USA 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. <b>Vastly underrated this one. </b> dchmela (833), Orlando, Florida, USA 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.
