This one poured out pitch black although a look through the bottom corner of the glass revealed a dark red. The head didn’t last long, but the lacing remained. The aroma was thick, roasty, and sweet as expected. Not noticeably bitter at all. Very good session stout, but nothing that would knock your socks off for uniqueness.

Aug 24, 2008 (Bottle) Aroma rich, caramelly and malty with a little roast. Flavour slightly sweet, hardly bitter, and with a coarse sourness that I like. Very coarse texture, which I like. But, too heavy, too sweet, in my opinion. This would be an outstanding brew if it were not so heavy and sweet. What was the alcohol content? The alcohol was evident in the flavor and aroma and I am wondering if this also contributed to the heaviness of this beer.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle - Another found at Trader Joes. Poured a light carbonation dark color. A sweet mild stout, some roasted malt quality and light chocolate notes. A steal at 6 for $6 and not a bad stout just nothing really outstanding with this one. Mild good drinker.

Aug 9, 2008 One of the advantages of moving to the Midwest: being able to get this at Trader Joe’s for $6/6-pack. You won’t find a better beer for the price. Maybe not the equal of a Sam Smith, but on a grad student budget, it’s nice to know that someone’s looking out for you.

Aug 8, 2008 Deeply brown and red to the eye. Malt, coffee, sugarcane and maple on the nose, with a densely coffee malt flavor; aftertastes of dark chocolate and oatmeal. Very smooth, with neither excessive bite nor slime. Chewy. Extremely enjoyable, great as a late dessert with or without a brownie.
