UPDATED: JUL 14, 2006 A great stout. Arguably the best stout produced in the state of Tennessee. You are rewarded with a great roasted finish with this one. Strong in alcohol.

Had on tap at the brewroom the other night for the first time in about a year and had forgotten how good this stout is. It has a different type of tast than most stouts and is hard to describe. A nice smoky aroma and nice roasty taste.

Had this both regular and nitro. I was told that the Nitro was actually a different recipe but from an article I just read online that was written by Linus, he said it was the same recipe so I’m doing both reviews here.....Regular- Black, frothy light brown head. Aroma of sweet oats and caramel. Taste is pretty mild, some roast, some ashiness. 7 4 7 3 13 Decent......Nitro- same appearance with the exception of the denser head because of the nitro. Aroma was much more pronounced, lots of roast malt, coffee, sweet grains. Taste was also better, packed way more flavor, lots of toasted malt, coffee. Very nice. 8 4 8 4 15.

Very interesting stout. Certainly not as heavy as an Imperial, but quite complex. Very smooth, with strong coffee and malt tastes. It almost reminded me of a cup of espresso (especially in the little 5oz glass in the build-your-own sampler at Nashville’s Flying Saucer). Appearance was a nice dark black, but the subdues lighting in the bar made it difficult to discern subtleties about the appearance. Smell was not as strong as I normally enjoy, but a larger glassful in a quieter setting may be more revealing. Very enjoyable beer that I would certainly recommend if you can find it.

Tap at Yazoo brewery poured from Growler. Pours a gorgeous tan head with brown/tan lace all over the glass. Immediate Smokey coffee flavor is really nice. Coffee flavor is not too strong and the finish is a creamy malt texture. A real treat! Yazoo scored on this batch!

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2008 Draught at Village Co-op in Nashville. Surprising, sweet, mellow, toasty. Good mouthfeel, though not creamy. Laces well, beautiful color (black). Heehe. Good stout.

Draft at Mellow Mushroom in Murfreesboro. Black in the glass with a creamy tan head that leaves decent lacing. Nice smokey aroma with chocolate malt background. The flavor was of coffee, milk chocolate, and lightly smoked. Medium body. An awesome Tennessee offering. Needs to be bottled!

Draught at the brewery. Black pour that allows some deep ruby at hte edge of a tipped glass. Thin head. The aroma is coffee with cocoa powder in the background. Reserved sweetness and little roast barley bitterness make this a smooth drinking, easy quaffing stout. Drifts dangerously close to Porter in flavor.
