Jul 30, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy Durhambeer. Pours a deep dark brown with a thick off white head. Nice big roasty grain aroma with hints of sweet malt. Taste is big roasty grain character with a hint of lactose. Very well balanced and a great session stout.

Jul 22, 2008 12oz bottle shared by xnoxhatex. pours dark brown with big fizzy head. nose is sweet milk chocolate, dark fruit, and licorice. flavor pretty much follows the aroma. a bit fizzy mouth feel. some more roasted malts, a fully body, and less fizzy carbonation would help this out a bit.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle thanks to the duck rabbit guy. Almost gusher. Dark brown with large fizzy brown head. Sweet milk chocolate aroma with some roasted malt. Flavor is much the same with some bakers chocolate as well with lots of dark fruit. Medium well carbonated body. Very nice, sweetness doesnt take away from it at all.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown out of the bottle that looks almost completely black in the glass. The head is fairly thick and dissipates slowly to a ring with a little lacing. The smell is big on sweet roasted malts with just a hint of oatmeal in the background. There is also a significant milk chocolate aroma as well. The taste mirrors the smell with milk chocolate and roasted malts dominating the taste. It’s like liquid malted milk balls and in a good way. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with good carbonation and very creamy overall. I really enjoyed this stout and it’s one of the better sweet stouts I’ve had recently. Highly recommended!

Jul 6, 2008 Poured a deep dark brown with a tan head. Had me on the typical sweet stout, but had an unpleasant vegetal note in the end.

Jun 19, 2008 Deep brown with a reddish tint and a light tan head. Smells sweet on top of the roasted malts. Has that expected sweet milk stout taste and roasted malt in the background with a fairly bitter finish. Too bitter for my tastes in sweet stouts.

Jun 10, 2008 Smell is roast, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and dark fruits. Dark brown in color and clear with a tan head. Taste is plums, sweet, roasty, and malts.
