Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. Opaque brown/black color with a respectable tan head. Some minimal lacing. Rich aroma of coffee and chocolate. Roasted malt too. Flavor starts with roasted, not overly burnt, malt, some coffee, and perhaps hints of chocolate. It’s bitter. More than roasted malt bitter. Must be up there in IBUs. The finish really is bitter. Smooth, dry and bitterrrrrr. Exceptionally good ale.

Bittersweet roasted chocolate malt, hops on the back of the tongue is pretty noticable, light coffee, develops a more smokey taste as it warms.

Dec 21, 2007 (Bottle) Pours black with a brown head. Roasted malt aroma. Taste is of burnt malt, caramel, cocoa, smoke, and toffee. Lingering dry aftertaste includes quite a bit of smoke. Light, fine carbonation and average palate. A very solid stout that I wouldn’t mind drinking a lot of!

Dec 18, 2007 Black body with a thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and some chocolate. Bitter taste with bitter dark chocolate. But it is smooth and tasty aside from that. Some hops are in there too. Not the best dry stout I had, but pretty good.

Dec 8, 2007 Black beer with a tan head. Roasty with a touch of smoke in the aroma. Roasty and hoppy in flavor with light smoke. Pretty bitter and hoppy finish. Dry palate. Good stuff.

Dec 5, 2007 Pours a dark-brown with mahogany hues. Spotted lacing. Nose is caramel and rustic wood. A slight smokiness in flavor: BBQ, chocolate malts, subtle soy sauce. Metal in the finish. Lively carbonated and medium/full bodied. Lacked the fullness in body and flavor one would expect from a proper stout. Overall though, a decent beer.

Dec 4, 2007 This stout is much like a porter. Not to heavy on the bitterness, and the flavors are exceptionally burn. It finishes not dry, which gives it a fullness.
