Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates May 4, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of Brandon Orr. Very dark, as expected, with a foamy take. Licorice aroma. Tart with a bitter chocolate bite, tightly sweet. A bit odd, but drinkable. (#3447, 5/3/2008)
DrDavid (351), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 9, 2008 (Bottle). Roasty, coffee, milk chocolate, and malt aroma. Dark reddish brown body, tan head. Flavor is roasty, hints of nuts, coffee. Relatively mild finish. KnN (311), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours almost pitch black with a good fingers worth of tan head. Aroma is a lot of roast and some coffee. Flavor is more of the same. It’s got a nice taste on the front, but the backend is a little bitter. It is fairly smooth drinking though if a little watery.. joekfsu (138), Boardman, Ohio, USA Sep 23, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours nearly jet black with 2 cm of a 2 cm dense tan head that is slowly diminishing. Aroma of mocha. Initial flavor is slightly sweet with coffee and malt. Flavor ends with a hint of bitter chocolate, long bitter aftertaste. Light to moderate carbonation, tons of lacing, moderate body, limited alcohol presence. Overall, I think this beer probably deserves a better rating because it is pretty decent drinking. nbutler11 (218), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Sep 19, 2008 Pours a deep brown color from the bottle with a firm tan head. Smells of dark cocoa and tastes of watery coffee and barley. Balanced and suprisingly drinkable for an organic stout. marcus (1053), Sacramento, California, USA Sep 12, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a fluffy tan head and a chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is bready with noticeable coffee and chocolate features. The initial taste is pleasant and malty, but the finish is watery and disappointing.
