JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Aug 9, 2007 Bottled, pours black with a tall, light brown head. Smells just amazing, very chocolaty, with touches of gingerbread and root beer. Roasted, mildly bitter dark cocoa flavor, lively mouthfeel, medium-bodied, and dry. Roasty finish and aftertaste. Beautiful package is only slightly tarnished by a little tinge of something plastic or rubbery. Still, a fun beer to drink. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Aug 8, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2008Bottle. Pours with a big foamy white head that quickly dies down, leaving a small, creamier head. Burnt chocolate and coffee aromas. It definitely tastes better than it looks and smells. Complicated flavors of malts, cherries, dark chocolate, and nuts. A soda-like quality comes back in the palate and left my mouth very sticky and a bit tingly. A tasty session stout. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 6, 2007 Bottle sampled with Mad indian, thanks to DrBayern for sending this to me. Pours dark with a good size tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, and sweet ness. The flavor is sweet, chocolate, roast, with traces of bitterness in the finish. Good brew. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 4, 2007 Bottle sampled with stegosaurus, care of drbayern trade.Dark pour with a sweet malt slightly chocolate aroma. Roasted taste with a smooth finish. I liked it not bad at all. donrajin (233), Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, USA Aug 2, 2007 A great smooth and creamy stout. Plenty of roast and chocolate flavors to fill the palate. Good roast to the nose sip after sip. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Aug 2, 2007 Thanks to Suttree for sending this one my way in a recent trade. Pours a deep amber with a large tannish head and pretty good carbonation. Aroma and flavor is roasted malts, light smoke, chocolate cream, bitter nuts. Hints of tartness in the finish. Quite nice overall.
