When I saw this poured out, I had to say ’wow’! Very dark, thick reddish brown head, soapy notes in aroma along with chocolate. Palate is neither sweet or dry, I guess that’s why they call it a stout, weird to me, used to sweet or dry. It’s nutty, with some coffee notes and a bit of hops, but overall pretty mild. Well the longer your drink it the less mild it seems. Creamy feel. Drank this fairly warm. Just had it in the fridge about 1/2 hour.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle aquired in trade from StFun. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Roasted malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Smooth and even on the palate. Just a tad thin or I would have thought it was an imperial stout. An overall great brew.

Sep 1, 2008 From STFun trade. This stout was excellent. For a straight stout, it exhibited more maltiness, balance, and consistent flavor than most (if not all) I’ve had. Nice sized head and lacing. The carmel and coffee flavors and smells were apparent.

Sep 1, 2008 dchmela..........you’re the MAN!!! I really liked this. BLACK in the body. Pretty malty, and caramel and coffee smells are present. Very smooth and creamy. Not too bubbly. Not sure if I like it as much as Java Stout, but I really like it.

Aug 31, 2008 Thanks to msante79 for this one. One of the nicest stouts I have had. Has the deep roasted malt tastes, but not overpowering like some stouts that taste like an ash tray. Smooth and creamy feel. Roasted malt blended with deep chocolate and coffee. All well blended.
