Jan 19, 2008 Pours a completely opaque dark brown with a thick foamy beige head. A nutty roasted caramel-coffee nose. A bit of smoke in the flavor. Rich malt flavor that is balanced very nicely with a bitterness that hits in the finish. Almost tastes a little burnt. I don’t get any of the licorice. Decent mouthfeel with an oily texture.

Jan 19, 2008 poured thinner than some stouts, but had a head the color of Ovaltine which lasted for a fair amount of time. Taste was rather middle of the road - definitely not an attempt at overpowering the genre - not as chewy as I would like in a stout, but definite burnt/toasted tastes that made me think I’d drink it again...not bad.

Jan 19, 2008 From dra19 via trade. Thank you Dennis! The pour was dark brown with ruby highlights trying to peek through. A nice, one-finger tall brown head was produced and sustained for a bit. The aroma was roasted malt, chocolate, lighter caramel and lots of spicy hops. The flavor was mostly chocolate and roasted malt covered in floral and piney hops. The mouthfeel was nice and the finish was what you would expect.

Jan 18, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with Acknud. Thanks for this! Brew was almost pitch black with a medium sized diminishing tan head.....some lacing. Aromas reminded me of smoked bacon....also hints of oak, spice and a light hop bite. Full bodied and oily. Thanks again for this great beer!

Jan 18, 2008 Very dry and roasted. Alot of coffee, some chocolate. Not too thick in the mouthfeel...but still very robust. Overall a decent stout, although a very dry one.

Jan 17, 2008 This one was also brought to me via trade from Mr. Atalla...THANKS AGAIN!!! Dark brown/bordering black with a small cinnamon-colored head, the aroma and taste have bold coffee, chocolate, licorice, and toffee characteristics. Very velvety on the tongue, I wouldn’t mind a second. This is probably a top 15-20 stout...but I guess I’m a tough critic!!!

Jan 17, 2008 bottle, batch 7475. pours pretty much opaque black, with a thinnish light brown head that fades to a film. strong smell of coffee and roasted malts, backed up by notes of cocoa, molasses, and raisins. more roasty coffee in the taste, a bit of bread, some black cherry, and more coffee. the flavor lasts forever. pleasant coffee bitter palate that lasts forever with a hint of light sweetness in the beginning. creamy, silky mouthfeel, with a medium to full body. this stuff is terrific. i can’t get enough.
