Aug 16, 2008 Deep and dark. The aroma isn’t much, but chocolate hints and some some roasted maltiness. The flavor was a little much for me. Just too much sweet, too much flavor overall, I’m but a wee boy.

Aug 15, 2008 Aroma is mocha and faint coffee. Flavor is sweet brownies with a lactic sourness. Thinner than expected. Drinkable but kind of strange - I’m not sure how I really feel about this one.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle from SL. Pour was pretty typical, deep dark brown, short of black, off-white to choco-colored head. The aroma was chocolate, molasses, lightly roasted coffee. The flavor followed with some caramel mixed in there. Definitely a lighter than anticipated mouthfeel, pretty smooth, but a tad on the acidic/astringent side, yet not too much, a decent brew from a category that has recently bored me.

Aug 6, 2008 Had this at Chris O’s pre GBBF tasting, 02-08-08 cheers for a wonderful day Chris Big solid chocolatey taste a bit like a flak has been crumbled into your beer. Some light coffee then mingles with the rich cocoa, little bit of fizziness on the tongue, very nice.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is potting soil and very earthy with some buttery notes. Flavor is a metallic bitter coffee with a slight hint of chocolate. Body is medium and finish is dry. Very ordinary.

Aug 5, 2008 Poured a very dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma was just tons and tons of chocolate, pretty much all chocolate. Flavor was a bit of a let down form the aroma but still pretty good a lot of chocolate, but also with bitter coffee notes to calm down the sweetness. I was pretty impressed with this chocolate stout, unfortunately I tried it right before Southern Tier Choklat, haha.
