Mar 16, 2007 Updated: Mar 17, 200712 oz bottle - pours black, with the biggest head I’ve seen on any beer. Ever. Seriously huge. It took me about 10 minutes to get this all into the glass because every time I put a bit more in, the thing exploded. Aroma very roasty - notes of coffee, toffee, toasted malt, and a good deal of hops. Very thick and creamy in the mouth, but bitter and chocolatey as well, with espresso flavours alongside burnt black malt and more hops. Really dry, almost chalky - the best dry stout I’ve had - tastes much more like an imperial, but without the big alcohol. Great stuff.

Mar 14, 2007 This stout is ok. Pours with a two finger head that holds well. A little light for a stout. Can taste the roastyness, but not sure about the "mountain" of hops.

Mar 8, 2007 It’s OK. It was a little watery for a stout. It’s one great feature was a substantial head, that lasted and actually held a it’s shape as a mounf rather then petering out ansinking to thin film. More bitter then I like. It just didn.t jump out at me in any way.

Mar 4, 2007 Pours a dark brew with a thick, generous, tan, cramy head. The aroma is predominately roasted, with coffee in there, some cooked cereal, . The flavor is very roasty, coffee, and some sweetness to it. Very mild hop in the background. The palate is a little thin, or lacking texture. The finish tastes burnt with a tad of a hop bite.

Mar 2, 2007 Pours a deep, dark, mahogany/black with a creamy, khaki head that settles rocky and laces well. A thick, milkshake/milk chocolate aroma complements the roastiness of the malts. A little thin in the mouth but silky nonetheless. Flavor shows more coffee than anything, with bittersweet chocolate chiming in at the end. Much better as it warms, so don’t be too hasty in drinking this one.

Feb 28, 2007 Pours dark, but not so much that it wont let light pass through. Aroma is soft, and suttle with chocolate, coffee, dark malts. Flavor is the same but, again, not heavy. I like this because it doesnt drown you in an excessive amount of alcohol.

Feb 26, 2007 Pours black with a light, large head. Strong aromas of coffee, cream, and chocolate. Relatively light mouth feel with a creamy, mouth feel. Strong flavors of coffee, chocolate, and hop bitters blast forward. Pretty heavy-handed, not the heaviest thing I’ve ever had, but not bad.
