Jan 27, 2008 1 Pint .9 ounce bottle shared with Illini08. Poured black as night with a .5 finger width creamy head that disappeared quickly. The aroma was definitely pleasant with strong hints of coffee, chocolate, and nut with vanilla and malt undertones. Very light mouthfeel. Tasted of chocolate and coffee. It had a slightly bitter aftertaste but did not take away from the overall experience. This was a very tasty beer!

Jan 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Mcox90! Thanks man. I truly enjoyed the pale green traditionaly shaped bottle. Nose has undertones of vanilla amongst the malt. Body is light for style but is benificial in the end. Pours a silky medium brown black with a quickly dissipating head. Body is creamy and smooth and has a smattering of port wine hints and some plums that strike and then sink back into the night of chocolate and dark maltiness. It is all finished up nicely with a stoic, corky hop finish that I was glad to see that I had half right (said fuggles and goldings) A very nice way to start the weekend.

Jan 25, 2008 Updated: Feb 29, 2008Black as the ace of spades with huge cola colored creamy head. Looks great, smells better! Coffee, molasses and chocolate aroma. Good bitterness, a little thin/flat/greasy with a chocolate, raisin, and grape jelly taste. Very palatable and smooth. Good beer, not great! I just didn’t like the body...everything else was of a good beer.

Jan 25, 2008 Pint bottle poured into the pint glass- poured a blacker than midnight of a stormer, thick and inviting tan head slowly laced away. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malts, toffee, and a hint of alcohol. Hits the mouth with a defined medium body that isn’t overpowering, kinda chewy after a few swallows in the mouth, finish is solid with cream that glides away. Break out the cigars and take your time with this one!

Jan 23, 2008 I wasn’t impressed with this stout. I had it a while ago but forgot the name. Just been calling it the "trying too hard beer." What I mean is, it has some flavor, actually a good amount of flavor, but it just seems artificial. No flavors in it that I really enjoyed. Pepsi One of stouts.
