Batch was from 2007. The beer pours a great dark black with a very finely carbonated tan head which sits on top very frothy. The aroma hits you as soon as you open the bottle. A great strong sweet molasses, prune, chocolate and alcohol aroma abound from the beer as it sits waiting to be drank. Flavor is heavy of alcohol but it seems to accentuate deep molasses and chocolate flavors in the beer. The flavor really sticks to your tongue with the chocolate and alcohol lasting the longest. The beer is very frothy in your mouth, its med-heavy mouth feel but quite frothy, like drinking the top foam off of a hot chocolate. Beer leaves great lacing on the glass. A great beer and highly recommended.

Nov 29, 2008 On tap at the Avery tasting room, Nov 29, 2008. Poured black with a tan, diminishing head. Tasted roasted malts, raisins, and cherries. Finish was slightly bitter with a light lingering alcohol burn. This will taste much better with cellaring.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark black with tan head. Dark fruit, chocolate, caramel malt, hints of coffee and smoky malt. Pretty typical IRS, Very tasty, but nothing that stands out for the style.

Nov 27, 2008 Tasting at Brewtopia. Finally I get to try this. A very nice stout indeed. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, molasses, dried fruit and some roastiness lead to a very nice beer on the tongue. It is a tad thin, but the flavors or chocolate, coffe and molasses are balanced well by a dose of hops. I liked this and will drink more.
