Sep 29, 2004 Bottle pours a seriously dark ruby, smally frothy tannish head, with fairly decent lacing. Doesn’t seem dark enough for a stout. A dry cocoa aroma invades my nose. Roasted malts, slight milk chocolate, and definately dry. Really dry in fact, quite unsweetened and roasty. Good body, but a slightly thin mouthfeel. Finishes with a slight soy flavor, unsweetened cocoa, and roasted malts. Not as sweet as I prefer, but good anyways. Thanks goes out to hopscotch for the trade!

Sep 27, 2004 Deep mahogany with no head. Black strap molasses and carmel rise from the glass. Heavey mouthfeel w/lingering sweet finish. Molasses, molasses, molasses, somewhat one dimensional and not very complex. Though I will say it’s tasty.

Sep 16, 2004 Pours a nearly opaque dark brown with a thick light cream-colored head that has some thin lacing. Aroma boasts barrels of sweet caramel malt dripping with milk chocolate and sprinkled with coffee beans. Starts with great malty sweetness and lots of chocolate flavor, turning more dry and roasty toward the finish. Body could be thicker, but that’s about the only thing I can find wrong with this enjoyable brew. Thanks to hopscotch for this!

Sep 9, 2004 This was a nice beer. It poured a dark brownish black with a tan head. The flavor was roasty and very malty with a nice balance of hops. Try this beer if you can get ahold of it.

Sep 3, 2004 Pours dark with a small brown head, medium to heavy body, coffee and chocolate taste with the aroma to match. I am on the last bottle from my case and enjoyed everyone of them. Very nice stout, easy to drink.

Mar 22, 2004 Updated: Mar 23, 2004(Best by Aug 2004) Wow this brew has a big intense coffee aroma that will not die. The head and lacing are text book pretty. The palate lives up to the coffee aroma and delivers a wonderful dry and roasty full bodied cup of Joe, I mean beer. Did I mention that this beer is nice and chocolately. This is a very good middle strength stout. Why didn't I drink more of this on St. Patricks Day?

Mar 17, 2004 A dry stout with a twist-the addition of rye. All in all, a nice dry stout, definately balanced to the roast. My only complaint would be that it is rather thin. Another solid berr from Frederick.
