Nov 23, 2009 pours out semi thick and very dark with a nice 2 finger thick head that was beige to tan in color. it was partially bubbly and hung out for a good time at the top of the glass. great lacing as the head settled and it eventually came to a thin cap that was very nice to look at. the aromas are plum, sugar with toffee, some chocolate and very little coffee undertones. it is full bodied and has a wonderful flavor even though i just drank a ten fiddy before this one. i taste medium roast coffee, roasted malts, sugar and clove mixed in with banana. their is some sweetness going to the porter side of the relm, but still has that dry hoppy finish of a stout. it is velvety to the mouth feel and has an oily finish that was very plesent. it leaves a watery feel in the mouth and this beer was very nice for a session.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a little light coming through the edges and a tan head. Nose is sweet, showing milk chocolate, some vanilla, some wood, mild char and smoke... similar taste but sweeter. Not too much oak, all things considered. Nose of a schwarzbier, but taste adds a sweet stout element. Very nice.

Nov 13, 2009 Draft – Mahaffey’s Pub. Black, tan creamy head. Soft vanilla cocoa aromas ride lighter roasted coffee and wood-like tones. Bittersweet chocolate and toasted coffee cream flavors balance well on a foundation of roasted sweet vanilla bean and wood tones throughout. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not sure the bottle version gives a good impression, but this draft version was outstanding…
