Feb 13, 2008 Draft @ KLCC Microbrew Festival: Pours a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is strong with coffee. Almost overwhelms the lighter notes of cocoa and roast. Flavor again is a shot of coffee with chocolate and roasted malts playing a minor role. A kick of bittersweet right in the end.

Dec 10, 2007 On tap at Green Dragon Bistro in Portland, Oregon--Poured n opaque black with a frothy grey-brown head. Lots of earthy espresso and chocolate notes with subtle vanilla and pine as well. This is a very assertive stout great for cold wintry days. Yummy!

Dec 6, 2007 Draught. Poured black with tan head. Coffee tinged aroma. Flavour of malt, black coffee and roast. It says it’s a chocolate espresso stout, but I didn’t get and chocolate notes. Lingering coffee and hop finish.

Nov 28, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Mostly opaque black pour with a frothy, spotty-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of rich sweet dark chocolate and roasty coffee with some sugar cookie notes. Body starts with a nice light caramel sweetness and good dark chocolate balance toward a tasty roasty coffee finish. A very drinkable stout.
