thewombat (112), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jul 29, 2009 Smells bitter, harsh, dark brown pour with light head. Very Creamy. Tastes of chocolate milk, cream and sugar. Very sweet, med. body, thick and good. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Jul 29, 2009 this beer, and in my opinion others of this style are the antithesis of quenching. they leave behind a sticky spit, heavy aftertaste that makes you thirsty for water. that said, aroma was roasted grainy, flavor had a sharp quick note of coffee chocolate before proceeding into sweetness. not areally big fan of the milk sugar. BuckeyeSammy (454), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jul 28, 2009 Cocoa and a splash of coffee in the nose. Nicely cabonated. well balaced, simple stout. CanIHave4Beers (832), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jul 21, 2009 Another huge thanks goes out to Durhambeer for this superb beer! This pours with tat espresso swirl head with a deep brown almost black color. Aroma is roasty coffee and chocolate, very nice. Flavor has plenty of chocolate and vanilla with enough roasty flavor and bitterness to keep it fairly balanced. Very good. Palate is particularly creamy and full. ketchepillar (475), Viņa del Mar, Chile Jul 19, 2009 Roasted barley character is nice. Not much of a milk stout, lactose is barely discernible. Nice mellow grainy dark malt character. Almost too mellow to the point of grossness. A bit vegetal. Allstar (30), , Virginia, USA Jul 19, 2009 Poured dark with very little to no head. The aroma was light coffee with milk. Taste like coffee with creamer that the beans were roasted first. Slight bitter after taste but not over whelming. darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 12, 2009 12oz bottle. deep brown pour with a small tan head. aroma of milk, coffee, roasted malts, smoke and herbs. roasted coffee malts up from then milky sour taste then the chocolate and the coffee. slick medium mouthfeel. seems a little like a cola. zizzybalubba (335), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, USA Jul 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Dark brown pour with virtually no head. Rich, roasted malt aroma that smells awesome. Also hints of chocoalte and coffee. Very smooth flavor with the above aromas very detectable. Creamy mouthfeel. I had not tasted this beer for a while but I am glad I decided to revisit this one. An excellent stout.
