psuCE03 (110), York, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 23, 2008 Sweet chocolatey aroma. A few more hops than I am used to with a stout but I expected that with a SN brew. Roasted chocolate flavor on the aftertaste
502Flavors (278), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle into pint glass. Near black pour with reddish hue and a huge creamy lacing dirty tan head (really remarkable head). The aroma was good and roasty, creamy and hoppy. The flavor was very nice and simple - roasty, hoppy, and almost a bit smokey. Meidum bodied and smooth (and a bit watery) on the palate. Overall: very solid (I can’t get over the beauty of the head). bee__R (43), Cantù, Italy Oct 6, 2008 33 cl bottle from the renewed beeshop in Como. Deep black beer with a creamy tan thick head. It actually represents a wonderful example of the style, I’d say medium-high level. A maltry sweet nose, enriched with red fruits notes and liquorice hints in a bitter coffe-like frame. Full body and pleasant carbonation actually match with a roasty bitterness and sweet haloes. Right level of dryness.
mcjay (84), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Oct 4, 2008 Deep amber color, almost black with a very nice, thick tan/brown head. Rich, roasted aroma with a hint of chocolate. Robust and bitter taste with a hoppy bite to it. JCastner (39), New York, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours black with a slight off white head. Aroma is all roasted coffee. Medium body with dry lingering bitterness. Simple and straightforward. Petrucci914 (374), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a medium mocha head that leaves webs of lacing. Aroma is robust - hoppy, alcohol, dark roasts, coffee. Taste is the same with a slightly bitter finish. Nicely balanced and enjoyable stout.
