Sep 7, 2007 Aroma smells of more alcohol than is present., nothing else is distinguishable except maybe prunes. Deep dark ruby brown color with an extremely thick creamy tan head. Balanced chocolate malt and hop flavor. Unfortunately, it is dominated by the presence of alcohol. Coffee, raisin, and hop finish.. Unusually thin body for a stout. One of my lower rated stouts.

Sep 1, 2007 Poured from bottle. Aroma full of malt. Took time to pour, very foamy, but worth the wait. Nutty, roasty and sweet, with some hop and banana and vanilla in there as well. Deep, full feel. Good finish. Quite outstanding.

picking up some milk chocolate in the aroma, rich sweet cream character along with the roasted flavor, chocolate gets richer and richer, this is the award winning beer

Aug 30, 2007 Updated: Oct 1, 2009No. no no. I did not enjoy this brew. I think Id rather have a dry or reg stout over a sweet. Roastiness and no fizzies.

Aug 25, 2007 Bottle. Pours nearly black with a very thin tan colored head. Aroma is chocolate, sugar, coffee, roast. Flavor is chocolate, lactose, coffee, roasty notes. Palate is medium to full bodied, mild to medium carbonation, sweet sticky finish. Great stuff. I really like this style and this is a fine example.

Aug 20, 2007 Not bad for one of my least favorite styles. Lightly roasted malt flavor finishes with a sweet taste of milk. Low carbonation and easy to drink.

Aug 19, 2007 Pours black with medium body. Very small amount of head. A nice smooth cream flavor. I was very impressed and found that the sweet/cream flavoring did not overwhelm the stout as with Left Hand’s Milk Stout, which I think tastes more like a liquid Milk Dud.

Aug 17, 2007 Pours a dark almost black in color. Smell is smokey and lactic. It has a very distinct burnt note in the smell. Taste is very nice. The lactic/milk notes are well done and taste good. A tad thin on the mouthfeel. A decent beer that you can enjoy without getting slammed by the ABV. Another solid beer from DR. To this date there has been only one beer from them that has not impressed me.
