Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

12 oz. bottle, batch # 6781. Black with a light brown head. A nice lacing is left behind on the shaker glass. Medium strong smell of malted chocolate and roasted grains. Medium heavy body with a smooth texture. Hearty flavor of blackened malts and sweetened coffee. Has a slight bitterness to finish from the blackened malts. A great everyday drinker. July 2005

Bottle at chris_o’s pre beerexposed tasting. Alround rating: Roasty, thin, not really much going on, pritty boring stuff and not really my style. I cannot see for the life of me how this could get such a high rating.

Delicious stout, big chocolate flavor up front, roasty and smooth, with a dry bitter chocolate finish. Slight scent of licorice, lingering coffee notes in the finish. Pours black with a smooth brown head. Just really well built in every way.

Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours impressively black with a small, creamy, staying, brown head. Sweet aroma, lots of chocolate and coffee. Low carbonation, wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is impeccably elegant. Sweet, light dryness, coffee, cocoa. Stunningly balanced and only 6 %. Great.

Pours jet black with a tan head. The aroma is big coffee. The flavor is largely coffee, with some background chocolate notes. It has a heavy body with low-medium carbonation. This a delicious stout! It is like espresso beer.
