restless7 (102), Lenexa, Kansas, USA Apr 12, 2008 BOTTLE: 6150. Dak pour with excellent beige head and lacing. Aroma is strong roasted coffee. Flavor is somewhat mild but delectable. Livens up the mouth with a short finish. Very drinkable but not very complex or robust.
Taverner (481), San Ramon, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 Much drier than most sweet stouts I’ve had - still it’s an amazing, smoky concoction that has notes of chocolate, smoke, sesame and a very light coffee touch. Creamy and sweet on the finish - yet dry in the mouthfeel. hombrepalo (506), Chicago, Illinois, USA 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.
BeerBunker (103), Burbank, Illinois, USA 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. Moggman (54), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours thick brown with tan head. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, creamy and thick. Finishes malty. Very hearty beer for winter drinking. SuzyGreenberg (1028), Seattle, Washington, USA 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
