Jun 25, 2008 A good stout. Pours very nice, with a nicely carbonated body. Flavorful nose, and a great bitter chocolate finish.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle pours a pitch black color with a dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, vanilla, tobacco, and molasses. Similar flavors, but also noticed some sweetness that reminded me of apples. Nice bitter finish. Couldn’t recognize the licorice mentioned on the label though. Oh well, still a very tasty stout.

Jun 18, 2008 Highly drinkable for a full bodied stout. Light carbonation. Initially, the flavor is lightly sweet and roasty malts. The flavor ends in a bitter, dark chocolate finish that lingers until the next sip. Perfect level of alcohol. Surprisingly strong for a 6% beer - has the taste of imperial stouts.

Jun 17, 2008 batch 7648... don’t remember where I got this, but thanks to whoever sent it to me. Pitch black beer with a thick sticky tan head. Aroma is frickin’ awesome. Rich sweet cocoa and dark chocolate. Herbal, slightly smokey with a kiss of black licorice. Flavour matches the aroma in intensity and balance. Soft dark chocolate, licorice and cocoa. Soft sticky sweetness, but completely without any cloyingness. So rich and decadent that it’s hard to imagine that I can’t get another easily. Soft roasty bitterness. Fudgey and delicious. Just an incredible beer.

Jun 16, 2008 What a beautiful stout. Pours a nice deep brown with a short lived tan head. Lots of coffee and malt. So creamy with that perfect stout bitterness. This is a great stout.

Jun 15, 2008 Nice dark roasted flavor. I have trouble tasting the licorice that is in there. Smooth and rich, without too much bite. I would happily drink this one again.

Jun 15, 2008 Holy crap what a beer. Short tan head, almost crude oil appearance, oaky whiskey aroma with complimenting flavor of coffee, toffee and chocolate. Delicious!!!
