presario (2397), Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 25, 2008 Black. Lassting nitro head thick creamy lacing. Nice cocoa coffee aroma. Light dry body. Creamy coffee stout. SuzyGreenberg (934), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 21, 2007 draft - on the order of Guinness in terms of look, but not quite on taste; creamy finish with ordinary flavors Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA May 5, 2007 Black with a creamy head and great lacing. Nose of smoke and roast malts. Beef jerky!? Todd concurs. Woody and more smoke in the flavor with some roast and bitter chocolate. Creamy palate of course (nitro) and thick smoke rolls through the finish. FlacoAlto (2086), Tucson, Arizona, USA May 2, 2007 Sampled @ Big Time, April 2007
Pours with a rich, creamy, nitrogen generated head that has a brown tinged, tan color. The beer is simply black, when analyzed in this pub atmosphere. The aroma is rich with notes of toasty malt, chocolate, a touch of coffee aromatics and a hint of burn raisin adds some unexpected fruitiness. The beer tastes dry and fairly bitter in the finish. The bitterness seems to be driven by the burnt malt notes rather than by hops. A touch of coffee flavors are here, focusing on roast bean flavors. This has a very creamy mouthfeel to it, which is typical of a degassed nitrogenated brew. The finish has a lingering, toasted, dry grain character to it. This is a good easy drinking brew, and a definite step up from draught Guinness. bb (2088), Martinez, California, USA Apr 26, 2007 Updated: Apr 27, 2007Draft. Nitro. Blackish beer with a tan nitro head. Roasty aroma. Light flavor, slightly sour, slight roast. Lingering sourness/lactic. Lighter bodied.
