Nov 29, 2004 Bottle Pours a nearly black, very viscous with a medium foamy light brown head. This receded farily quickly and the lacing is coarse and blocky. The aroma is a very inviting sweet, molassas, chocolate and black licorice. Flavors are similar but a bit more smokey. A bit sour and somewhat dry for a sweet stout. Some hops here and a smooth feel but not particularly thick. Carbonation is quite lively. Finish is a slightly bitter smokey flavor.

Nov 5, 2004 Mildly creamy , coffe, chocolate, roasted grain nose. Looks like a stout. Coffee, cream, chocolate, black malt in the mouth. Fairly tannic in the mouth. Finishes with black malt.

Oct 31, 2004 A slightly above average stout, good colour, head retention and aroma. Moderately complex flavor, sour aftertaste. Not bad.

Oct 23, 2004 Rather sweet, (sweet stout I get it...) Diminishing head. Hits the spot, then disappears like a thief in the night.

Sep 25, 2004 Beautiful beer. Has the same texture as the pale, which was certainly a surprise. Unfortunately, flavor is not as strong as I’d’ve expected for a stout and doesn’t hold real long either.

Sep 11, 2004 Bottled at Steamers in Ketchikan, loved the color and smell. Inviting, and not as heavy as it seems. sweetness comes out slightly, but dissapears after 3 or 4!

Aug 26, 2004 black as a harley rider’s wardrobe, though the edges give up a bit of dark brown akin to a plug of chewing tobacco. the head wasn’t bad but the bubbles were too big to develop a lappy cream. nose has of course a sweet oatmeal smell, plus the leather seats of a vintage packard, stewed prunes, just a touch of creosote, boar-bristle brush, maduro leaf and kahlua.
the taste is indeed sweet, a baked porridge of bittersweet chocolate in tandem with the kind of burnt cottony bitterness you’d get if you sucked on a welder’s glove. some cherry tones emerge, in a lightly sour way, along with toasty grains misted with chicory and molasses. a fair mid-range stout with a milky consistency and a bitterness that echos all the way to the fridge as you’re fetching your next beer.
