Nov 18, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep brown with small offwhite head. Mouthfeel is medium. Tastes are of roasted malts with some chocolate caramel sweetness, albeit on the light side. Very smooth creamy mouthfeel. A decent effort by Boston Beer Company.

Nov 17, 2007 Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body with a small tan head.
Smell: Roasted barley aroma with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and even toffee.
Taste: Rich roasted maltiness leads with the taste of semi-sweet chocolate and coffee giving a mocha impression. Some toffee rolls by midway. Mild graininess. No more than a touch of hops in the finish. Chocolatey aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A pleasant beer that’s very easy to drink down. For me, it’s one of the top Samuel Adams beers.

Nov 16, 2007 Updated: Aug 24, 2009Bottle. Aromas of moderate toasted and dark bread, light aromas of herbs and earth, with a touch of wood and vanilla in the background. Head is small, creamy, light brown, mostly diminishing and has fair lacing. Color is an almost solid brown/black. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, creamy, and has soft carbonation. Aroma and flavors are a bit weak, but still a good drinking beer.

Nov 15, 2007 Decent, but way overrated. Not that great of a stout. Completely one sided roasted malt flavor. Slightly different burnt flavor to it. No complexity or hops. Light bodied for a stout.
