Oct 12, 2008 Solid. Dark chocolate. Roasty but not too roasty. Subdued but complex fruit--hints of a Quadrupel. Light hops, not roasted malt, provide most of the bitterness. This beer is a success.

Oct 12, 2008 Draft at Sierra. Great color and nose. Aromas lead it to be higher than 7.5 but overall a great smooth flavorful beer.

Oct 11, 2008 Updated: Oct 12, 2008750 ml bottle thanks to hopscotch. Pours a mostly black color with some red edges. A thick light brown head. The aroma is very nice; a sweet and rich fruity malt. Also some yeast, coffee and light milk chocolates. The flavor was excellent; toasted malts, rich chocolates, some sweet dark fruits, a bit of yeast, and a slight bitter coffee bean and hops. A excellent mouthfeel; rich and creamy. Just a great beer. I drank the 750 with ease, and wanted more.

Oct 5, 2008 Pours black with a tiny bit of transparency at the top. Thin carbonated head with some thick dense lacing.
Strong molasses aroma, soda water, alcohol, cherries, and a tiny bit of chocolate. Strong coffee flavor upfront, followed by creamy chocolate and a mix of berries.
Mouth feel isn’t thick, but not thin. Very drinkable and throughly enjoyable.

Oct 5, 2008 Big fat tan head and a purely black body (surprised?). Smells pretty sweet and fruity with some roasted malts in there. Beer itself is kind of syrupy and has a slight taste of alcohol. A sort of Belgian feel is in the beer. Chocolate taste throughout, but in a different way than you would typically expect from a stout.

Sep 30, 2008 750 ml bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours a massive 2-inch creamy tan-colored head over a raven-black body with tan edges. The head holds retention well and provides solid brown lacing. The nose is fruits and sour yeast. Flavors are rich and malty with notes of coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, toffee, toast, and subtle yeast in the forefront. Medium carbonation and full body. A good, solid stout, but nothing really special or complex going on here.

Sep 28, 2008 The pour reveals a black color with a thin light brown head. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt and coacoa. Very good flavor of coacoa and roasted malt with some dryness and then bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and gentle carbonation. Not one of my favorite from Allagash, but it’s still pretty enjoyable.
