Bottle thanks to Bigmmartin. Pours a dark, inkyblack with a thin tan head. Aroma is very hoppy for a stout. Coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts are heavy in the aroma as well. Notes of toasted malts, caramel, toffee, and cherry come out. On the palet it isrich and creamy. Bold chocolate flavors jump out. I also detect a subtle cherry taste. The finish brought out the hops character. I really enjoyed this one.

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Black with beige, creamy head. Strong aroma of cofee and grapefruit. Dry, very aromatic and really roasty. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel and tons of coffee flavour. Long salty grapefruity bitter finish. Packed with flavour, yet so drinkable. A superb stout!

22 oz bomber. Pours a dark black color with a medium sized beige head. Aroma is of sweet dark chocolate,roasted dry hops,(that vintage 3 Floyds piney hop scent) and killer malts. Flavor is of rich sweet dark chocolate, the kind used for baking, roasted hops galore and more chocolate malts. Excellent !! Another gem from those Three Floyds.

Bottle poured black with a nice brown head and lacing. Aroma and flavor of rich, roasty malts, chocolate and coffee. Body is thick with a creamy texture and deep roasty finish. I wish I could get more of this!

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2008 This beer is unlike any "stout" I have had. It has a lower ABV, which is good in this case. This is a very drinkable beer. It is thin on the palate and is certainly the most "hoppy" stout I have had. It has an aroma of coffee, honey, and syrup. It has a dry almost smokey finish. I think a lot of people tend to rate this beer low (than other 3Fs anyway) because of the ABV and thinness, however that makes it great. I could drink this all day long over other beers with higher ABV. This is probably my favorite Three Floyd’s beer so far and the bottle is cool as hell.

22 oz from Ty5592...An amazing beer. Don’t think it gets the credit it is due to the low abv...Eventhough it is not a "big" beer, it is excellent. Pours like black tar, nice dark brown head, tastes of melted chocalte, with a roasted coffee finish. Drank this with a couple friends who were strategizing about how we could locate more...In another state...Thanks Ty.

Rich aroma of cocoa, fudge, walnut, and maple syrup. Black pour with a medium brown head. Harmonious taste of chocolate and licorice. The licorice lingers on the palate with a subtle introduction of smoke. Medium body, yet sufficiently flavorful. Not very hoppy. This a special brew!

See what I mean about the stout? it’s really really good. Plenty of sweetness of caramel and bitter on coffee grounds. well made beer. would definitely try this again.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2009 This one took me completely by surprise. I really wasn’t expecting too much for some reason. The hops really stand out in the aroma. The strong dry, roasted malt, hoppy aroma is excellent. I now knew immediately that I was going to love this beer. Hell yeah, the flavor is great. Packed with dry roasted malts, hops, chocolate and coffee. You really can’t ask for much more when it comes to the balance of flavors here. Best dry stout hands down.

Bottle, courtesy someone. Black pour, big dark tan head and thick lacing. Nose has some sweet fruity coffee, some chocolate and roasted malts. Big on roast in the flavor, coffee, chocolate, and a very nice spicy dry finish. Crisp. Quite drinkable. Full-bodied for a small beer. Enjoyed it considerably.
