Jun 8, 2005 Midnight black pour. Roasted coffee, and mild chocolate aromas. Roasted espresso, with a touch of fruity, bitter hops. Thin and watery palate. Finishes on a dry and lingering note. Not to shabby.

May 27, 2005 Pitch black pour with 2 fingers of large bubbled tan head. Dry roasted coffee and fresh linen aroma. A hint of ammonia. Pretty plain dry coffee and chocolate flavors, backed with a heavy dose of cream and finish of tangy sea salt. Aftertaste is tangy and a little oaky, pretty standard.

May 22, 2005 Updated: Jun 15, 2005Bottle: For a stout it isn’t the thickest pour or mouthfeel I’ve seen but not many American stouts are. I also really liked the slight carbination it had, something I think is overlooked in stouts. The head was kind of small but it looked good. The flavor wasn’t as chocolaty or coffee as Guiness, but its not trying to be Guiness. Its a little think, but I think that used motor oil would recieve at least a 3.7 on ratebeer simply cuz of thickness and color.
I’m not a huge stout guy ... and I think this is the stout for the non-stout drinker.
And while I haven’t tried all that many its the best domestic stout I’ve had.
Very smooth and tasty.

May 21, 2005 Updated: Jun 6, 2005Actually.. let me change this. This tastes a little too much like Boulevard’s porter for me to enjoy it on a daily basis. I’d rather have Beamish, Murphy’s, or Guinness. Nice try, though.

May 18, 2005 Gotta agree with Nuffield, this is a pretty darn good stout, if you give it a chance. But then again when you have a bunch of brew snobs or should i say pseudo brew snobs, this beer won’t get the real rating it should have.

May 14, 2005 Sent from a friend in Kansas. Nice coffee flavor, but a thin palate. It’s drier than the porter, but has about the same body. Too thin for the style, or at least for my taste.
