Jul 22, 2004 Dark, thin oily head. Nose a bit of roast and smoke. Flavor roasty and bitter, slight rasiny tang. Quite drinkable.

Jul 17, 2004 On tap. Poured a dark black with an averaged sized tan head. Chocolate dominated the armoas but could also smell coffee. Same tastes as the smells with a nice bitter/hop balanced. Good beer - after the sampler, I ordered a pint of this one.

Jul 12, 2004 This one impressed me. Poured blackish, with a big tan head and great lacing. Aroma of big coffee, malt, chocolate, cabernet, and some smoke. Tastes malty, with a big coffee/chocolate taste, and some smoky, roasty malt at the finish. Top notch.

Jun 25, 2004 VFBC knows how to make some stouts, although the name is a bit misleading in a way, I was kind of expecting to get something like a Guinness or Murphy’s but this had more body & flavor, it was much heavier than the other two, black in color, generous tan head, great lacing around the glass, nose full of chocolate & coffee, full body, very smooth & very drinkable, flavors included dark roasted coffee & dark chocolate, nice hop profile to balance the beer really well, this one’s a keeper
