Deep dark black color with a dark tan head. The aroma on this is definately roasted with a mainly coffee, lightly chocolatey nose. The flavor throws you off a bit as it's a bit more acidic and maybe astringent than most stouts. This was nitrogen charges, so it was definately creamy in the mouthfeel department. A well made stout that didn't quite live up to what it was boasted as, and as Chris pointed out, would be damn tasty on a handpump cask.

Apr 7, 2008 I will take this over most dry stouts out in the trade anyday. Big head that is lightly tan and of little character that fades away rather quickly. A rugged roasted coffee flavor, blends with a bit of dark chocolate and cocoa notes in the aftertaste. Decent.

Mar 18, 2008 Tap at brewpub and served with nitro: Near black with a tan creamy nitro pour head and very good lace. The aroma is roasty and charred, chocolate, herbal and flowery hops, walnut and a hint soapy. The taste is dark malts, bittersweet with a mild hop background. Very light smoke and nutty qualities on the finish. The mouth feel is creamy but thin. A very average brewpub paint-by-numbers dry stout.

Mar 2, 2008 From tap at brewpub : Black pour, carbonated, with a big time creamy offwhite head. This baby leaves big thick lacing, like whipped cream thick. Taste is faint, come coffee, but has a big expresso finish. Very smooth with a medium body. Really enjoyed this one.

Sep 3, 2007 Very dark blackish color that shows a very tiny hint of ruby red when held up to direct light. Minimal creamy off-white head that lasts and leaves significant lacing. Aroma primarily of coffee and roasted malt. Taste a nice mix of coffee and very dark, bittersweet chocolate. Very smooth on the palate with minimal carbonation. Sampled while on a road trip to the K-State/Auburn game (thanks to the brewery, Ill at least be taking home one pleasant memory of that trip).
