RCL (1068), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jul 10, 2008 Very dark brown pour with a chestnut rim. Aroma is super dark roast and hints of hardwood and cedar. Flavor has a woody dryness to it. Not bad. This beer reminds me of wood burning kits one would play with as a kid.
ditmier (222), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours almost black with a brown head....aroma is burnt grain, molassas, flavour is pretty expected, astringent biterness, coffee/chocolate nuance...a good dry stout, not my favorite style brew, but pretty good... JCastner (38), New York, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours black with a slight tan head. Aroma is of roasted coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sticky mouth-feel. Taste is of roasted malt (coffee and chocolate) and some slight bitterness with a dry finish. Simple, straightforward example of a dry stout. gotohelunc (385), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 25, 2008 Bottle at Hi 5 Raleigh. Very dark brown colored stout with a medium sized light tan head that went down to a near-flat look. Roasty flavors, some caramel and bitter, chocolately notes. Not a blows-me-away kind of stout, but I did enjoy it and it left me wanting more brew. bretupdegraff (94), Fishers, Indiana, USA Sep 14, 2008 Poured dark with a massive head that took 5 min to let down - very carbonated for a dry stout. not the strong taste that I expected but not bad. nice roasty taste gws57 (995), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Sep 6, 2008 Found this one bottled at the Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Unexpectedly good, especially for a warm late summer evening. Thick and milky dark brown pour with a thick light brown head, milk chocolate in the nose, slightly earthy, with oatmeal, soy sauce, barbeque sauce, barley, rye bread ... the list goes on. An amazing accomplishment.
