Oct 11, 2009 12oz bottle from 2005. Pours a very dark brown with ruby highlights, and a quickly receding thin tannish head. Nose is like a chocolate malt shake, sweet and decadent, with perhaps a shade of darker raisiny fruit and some oatmeal cookie malt body. A little thin but smooth on the palate, with strong smoky tones, a little like worcestershire sauce, perhaps some tobacco, very slight minty hop presence commingling with the roasted coffee bean and vanilla finish. Not a bad stout, but not a really great one.

Oct 3, 2009 12 oz bottle from a trade. pours black with a tan head. dark fruit dominates the nose. the flavour is also quite fruity but there is some coffee there too. lacking hops. thin in the mouth. not something id seek out again but not a terrible beer.

Sep 28, 2009 12oz - Brown/black pour with thin dark tan head. Roasted marshmallows and oranges on nose. Not much carbonation per the style, a little watery. Underwhelmed.

Sep 20, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle that I’m pretty sure came from State Line, 9/20/09
Aroma: Lots of roasted coffee and chocolate in the nose
Appearance: Dark black with a thin brown head, not much lace
Flavor: Similar to the nose, roasted flavor, malty, light bitterness
Palate: Lightish body for a stout, short duration, a touch thin
Overall Impression:
This is an alright stout, but the pour wasn’t particularly exciting, and palate was a bit dull. It wasn’t particularly exciting though, so I can’t go too much higher then this for the score. Not a bad beer, just not a real winner.

Sep 10, 2009 Pours a nice black with disappearing tan head. Aroma is nice as it warms - some fruit, roast, chocolate, good RIS tar. Flavor is similar to the aroma, very nice and roasty. Moderate body for a RIS. Overall, rather nice.

Aug 21, 2009 Black color with a quickly vanishing thin head. Aroma is a little salty, with some soy sauce and roasted barley. Thick, malty flavor. Some chocolate and very light coffee. Quite sweet. Simple but decent.
