From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Some hop aroma. Mid brown coloured and fruity with a crisp and slightly bitter dry finish.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2008 Bottle sample from Wesley TG Beer. Pours a very deep dark brown with interesting amber highlights and a nice rocky tan head. Nose is that of molasses with a bit of licorice and chocolate malts. Flavor is very malt driven with an underlying sweetness, and has peaks of cappacino, earth and smoke. I poured this a little too cold, it did have a bit more flavor when it warmed up a tad. All and all it’s a pretty good stout, something a little different from the norm.

This beer has a chocolate aftertaste!?! Its strong in alcohol content!?!? What can be better?

A wonderfully rich stout with a sweet, smooth introduction. Deep-dark amber in color with a creamy head. Satisfying finish that balances the chocolate and coffee notes with the subtle creaminess of the body. A very drinkable stout!
