Sep 15, 2008 This is my favorite comercially available stout. It has everything a stout should have. Nice full body, tan head, and roastiness that fills the palate. This is a stout to be enjoyed year round.

Sep 14, 2008 12oz bottle: Dark brown pour with a foamy, light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and some faint cocoa. Heavy roasted coffee taste. Slight dry finish. A very nicely balanced stout.

Sep 12, 2008 12 oz bottle. Very pleasing scent to this beer, roasted ground coffee beans and cream, and some almost amaretto nuttiness to it as well. Enjoyed the pour, very dark brown cream head and decent size, mostly goes away though, dark brown coffee color , about 2/3 opaque. Good amount of roasted coffee and nuts in the flavor (go figure), also some good strong caramel malt and an unimposing balancing hop, smooth, though a nice bite right in the middle, medium full body and a good linger. Just a very good, drinkable, balanced stout, hard to beat for the style.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a small head, clear body, and black color. Hints of molasses, roasted toffee, flowers, and port. Full body with a sticky texture and lively palate. Long flavor leading to an absolutely fantastic beer.

Sep 9, 2008 Great find- dark black pour - head that wouldn’t settle - nice lacing- taste is smooth stout. flavor comes out more as it warms... this is a very drinkable brew that fits well into my taste. Nice balance of coffee/roast - I think I prefer the Imperials but this is very good.
Cheers

Sep 8, 2008 Updated: Sep 9, 2008This was very good and creamy. Love that it’s only 6%. Just goes to show ya not everything has to be Imperial to be very good.

Sep 6, 2008 A dark dark stout with a thin moka head, and big chunks at the bottom. A nice bitter chocolate malt, cream, light hops, figs, and dried fruits. In mouth, a good moka chocolate, cold coffee, roasted bitterness, a bit of burned notes. A good pleasing stout.
