Bottle thanks to jgd0608, thanks man. Poured a brown color with a thin beige head that faded to a ring. Aroma of light rye, some roasted malt, a bit of smoke and some chocolate. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light chocolate with some hints of rye with some undertones of roast a smoke. Finishes smooth with a light chocolate aftertaste. Low carbonation, smooth but a bit thin on the palate. Considering how old this was, it held up pretty dang well for a regular stout. Thanks jgd!

Sampled from 12-oz bottle and shared by Bobby91w and Bulldogp04 during Surly D-Day. Pours a clear dark copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a thin off-white ring. Aroma of a dry and powdery multi-grain malt with rye character, a touch of vanilla and some milk chocolate. Taste is actually quite smooth for a three-year old bottle with some powdery malt texture and flavors of milk chocolate, rye, and a light biscuit. Finish is slightly metallic with a mild rye and chocolate aftertaste. Surprisingly not too bad for a alternative malt stout.

Pours dark brown with almost no head. Aroma is somewhat sweet with notes of rye and dark malts. Initially some rye grains up front with light roasted and sweet dark malts following. Smooth with medium carbonation and a nice body. Well made but did not do much for me in terms of breaking any groud.

A deep dark brown stout with ruby hues, and big floaties, with a thin creamy moka head. A strange concoction of coffee, metallic notes, and potted meat. In mouth, a restrained sweet chocolate, with light bitter notes, a bit buttery. Medium bodied. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Bottle; batch 7235. Poured black with a thin tan head. Nice mocha aroma with a light rye background. The flavor is an enjoyable coffee and milk chocolate mix with hints of spices. Full body, smooth but dry. Sweet throughout with a mocha aftertaste. Nice!
