When poured, this beer had a small sized light brown head with fine-medium sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was uncarbonated, opaque and it had a dark hue to it. The nose was malty, chocolate, and some coffee notes. The flavor was bitter, hoppy, coffee notes, acidic and it left a lingering aftertaste. The mouthfee was tingly, smooth, thin textured and medium bodied. This beer left a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass. Nothing to really rave about with this beer.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours a black amber color. Small light brown head that mostly dimishes. A malty burnt aroma. Flavor- initially pick up a little chocolate with a burnt coffee finish.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours dark black with a very small tan head. Aroma is very roasted with a great prune fruitiness. This beer has a great flavor. Starts off sweet prune with a very slight molasses and alcohol flavor moving into a great bitter coffee finish with a slight smokey hint. The great coffee flavor really sticks around and reminds you for minutes after your done of how great this beer tastes.

Oct 6, 2008 Black in color with a small, light brown head which quickly deminished. Little if any lacing. The aroma is of strong black coffee, hops, alcohol, oak and molasses. The flavor is of coffee grounds, dark fruits and oak with a strong alcohol backbone. The texture is syrupy with lively carbonation. I’d say its a wonderful stout with an aggressive and complex flavor. The only let down was the texture, otherwise, its superb. A DAMN GOOD BEER!

Oct 4, 2008 From the brewery. Deep black body with a little more than a finger of creamy head. Wonderful sweet hops up front followed by a dark chocolate malt scent. Taken in small sips its sweet and fruity, then bitter dark chocolate. Taken in larger drafts much more complexity. Still sweet and fruity but incredible roast chocolate malt, caramel, coffee, smokey. Dry finish with notable hop bitterness. Wonderful Beer.
