Jul 23, 2007 22 oz bottle from Capones. Pours opaque black with a beautiful dark beige head that displayed excellent retention. The lacing provided ringlets of beige that stuck to the snifter. The scent was of chocolate, roasted nuts, toffee, and coffee notes. The taste was very complex, almost like an imperial stout with notes of coffee, malt, roastiness and chocolate swirling around together. I was very impressed with how much there was going on in this dry stout. Excellent!

Jul 18, 2007 Dark black with a bubbly head, and lace. Very hoppy, with bittersweet chocolate. Significant burnt and sour characteristics.
Bottle courtesy of Shintriad. A bold Irish dry stout, and certainly good regular American stout.

Jul 7, 2007 Pours very opaque, which belies its surprising lightbodied-ness. Aroma is not too strong, but has a sort of bitey zinging quality to it. Flavor is clean and incomplex. Dry, roasty, hints of coffee. I think this is a great example of this style. Certainly not heavy or thick like many of this beers stout-brothers, but roasty and thoroughly enjoyable. (Wouldn’t pay $12 for it again though!)

Jul 1, 2007 Aroma is interesting, touch of vanilla, some spice, but something almost sharp hiding in the background. The beer itself is an opaque black, with a thin tan head that fades away quickly. First, the body is really light, not what I was expecting at all. The flavor seems to have something I can’t place in it, something that causes it to have a bit of astringency in the beer. Overall, glad I tried it, but there’s a whole lot better out there for a far better price.

Jun 15, 2007 Just OK and way overpriced (thus the 10 overall rating - would’ve been 13 otherwise).

Jun 15, 2007 Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of biscuits and chocolate with some dark fruits. Flavor is much the same with hops added. Needs more thickness and strength, but a good, if expensive, session beer.

Jun 11, 2007 A very good stout, it just lacks depth. I think that if this thing had a little bit more body to go along with the wet hop, chocolate biscuit. Very surprisingly light bodied, i just wish it would linger. Good, and very sessionable.
