Aug 1, 2009 12 ounce bottle enjoyed on a rainy summer day. Absolutely picture perfect pour. It came out a dark black color with a very nice 1.5 finger width tan head. The aroma is fairly bland for a stout. It consisted of roasted malt, faint coffee, and possibly some very subtle dark fruit notes. The taste also consisted of roasted malt and some coffee. It left a bit of a strange metallic aftertaste though. Finished with a nice bitter taste. Overall, a very good stout, but definitely not as good as Bells Expedition...

Jul 24, 2009 Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Batch 6007. Solid black pour with a tangible head. Beautiful notes of coffee and chocolate. Some smoked notes as well like soft bacon. Meat remains on the flavor. Interesting taste. Finish retains a smoky feeling. Some amounts of bitter coffee. A good stout that aged for several years before we enjoyed it.

Jul 18, 2009 Syrupy black pour—great head with lacing. Nose is coffee and a little fruit with ever-so-slight hops. Chewy mouthfeel. Taste is strong coffee with consistent smooth malts. Caramel finish with some hops. Very complex, powerful brew. Awesome, but I prefer Expedition.
