Jet black; thick; monstrous, super-dark brown, almost reddish head. Aroma has some dark fruit but mostly is chocolate with vanilla and caramel; actually smells creamy. Flavor very good, with chocolate and vanilla; not much roastiness, which is fine by me. Nice and thick; bit sticky. Excellent brew.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle @ Maproom. Pours very dark blackish, with a great head and great lacing. Smells of coffee, prunes, dark chocolate, cognac, and licorice. Tastes very roasty and creamy malty. Finishes very smooth, with a creamy, roasty flavor. Very bold and a very nice beer, just not as good as an imperial but probably the best sweet stout I’ve had.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours dark brown with a quickly dissapating tan head. Aroma is of toasty malts, caramel, dairy creamer, and some weak coffee. Taste is malts and hints of chocolate complimented by coffee and a lingering creamy sweetness. Very creamy mouthfeel, but a tad too watery. It’s good, without being overly unique.

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle - batch 8150; thanks to kryptic (BA) for the trade; milky brown with thin tan head; smooth, creamy texture; milk chocolate, vanilla, cookies; very nice and an easy drinker; perhaps a little unfair to drink next to the 7000, but a stellar beer on its own

Oct 1, 2008 Bottled. Super, easy drinking stout. Pour a slick, dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is coffee that has cream and sugar added. Smooth flavour of milk chocolate, french coffee and vanilla. Just a hint of bitterness in the finish. Maybe a little thin on the body and mouthfeel but still a great stout.
