Jan 17, 2008 650 ml bottle I picked up at Liars club. Pours an opaque black color with a thin tan head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is loaded with chocolate. The flavor leans more to espresso (with chocolate as an afterthought) and a bit of earthiness present for good measure. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with adequate carbonation. The finish is long and dry with lingering coffee. Overall: a superb stout. Recommended.

Jan 1, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dense black with a huge, sudsy, light brown head. The aroma is chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is again chocolate and roasted malt with a little bit of tobacco and coffee as well. Just a little bit light bodied - this one could use a little more oomph.

Dec 28, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade with bu11zeye (thanks!). Poured a dark, dark brown color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, caramel, a little earthy, and a touch of maple. Tastes of roast, chocolate, and some coffee. Both the tastes and body on the thin side.

Dec 27, 2007 Sampled during Cheesehead YeHA in Brookfield, Wisconsin and shared by MrFacto. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and tan ring with some spotty lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, a touch of molasses, coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is medium bodied, well carbonated with a tinge of vinegar and dark malt character. Finish is metallic, sour dark malt with a slight vinegar fruit aftertaste. Alpine Beer Company is better than this so I am sure this was an infected bottle. Will try again!
