Bottle. 2007 batch. Black-colored, almost completely opaque, with a small brown head that disappears right away. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate and espresso and a bit of alcohol. A slightly sweetish flavor at first, with a lot of roasted character, oatmeal, some licorice and coffee which soon turns very dry, quite bitter, with notes of hops and some alcohol in the finish. Medium to full body, quite creamy. Good.

Aug 18, 2008 After Southern Tier Choklat, Iwas stoked about trying this one, but found it underwhelming. Nice palate, full body, but boring flavor and aroma.

Aug 11, 2008 Thanks to July Santa for this great bottle. Dark pour with mocha head. Aroma of licorice, oatmeal, coffee and soft hops. Full bodied with flavors of chocolate, vanilla, oats and some sugary sweetness. Really enjoyed. Thanks Santa!

Aug 9, 2008 bomber. Pours black with a brown head which dissipated quickly. nose was of licorice, coffee and alcohol. Taste was sweet chocolate, oat and molasses. Mouthfeel was medium-to-thick with alcohol noticeable. Very good, although I liked their Jah-va better.

Aug 5, 2008 After my rather disappointing stout experience last night, I thought I’d give it another shot with a different beer. Poured black with a light brown head. Rich aromas of dark chocolate, bourbon, dark fruits, apple skins, and brown sugar. Flavor is rather sweet with some notes of caramel, brown sugar, some fruitiness with apple, pear, some light coffee, and some peppery alcohol. Finish is more toward the sweet side with leftover notes of coffee and fruit. Body is fairly chewy. Overall a great stout experience, and my enthusiasm for the style is pretty much revived.
