Feb 17, 2008 1/5/08, 11th and Final Brewery of 07/08 Roadtrip with Bikesandbeer and his girlfriend Jesse. Drove out the way to get to this brewery, which was worth it, really nice people and good food and good brew. Pours black with a thin half finger head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet, malty and light and pretty good overall stout.

Dec 1, 2007 (Old rating discovered in a dusty pile of forgotten notes, and I wish the notes on this one were more complete.) Thanks to aspidites for this!. Pours translucent black with a tan head. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit of ash on the exit

Oct 8, 2007 Unique muddy, pipe smoky, woody aroma. Flavor is hugely, intensely smoky, earthy (basement?), almost overpowering, but good. Lots of both roasty and hoppy bitterness going on. There’s some raw aspect here that I can’t quite place that doesn’t sit well with me but I can’t help liking this.

Jul 1, 2007 12oz bottle from beervirgin72 - Thanks Dawn! - Pours black with a big mocha head that stays well and laces in layers. Aromas of roasted malts, some chocolate, and a touch of coffee. Lots of roast in the flavor and even a bit of burnt malt. Some coffee and dark chocolate show through as well before the dry finish. Smooth and easy drinking. I think this is a dry stout.. Pretty tasty though.
