12oz bottle given to me by Sliffy! - Thanks Dan! - Pours dark brown with a short tan head and a little lace. Lots of roasted malts in the aroma, a little coffee and just a hint of chocolate. Flavor is roasty mostly but there is some element of fake chocolate here that I have trouble getting past. A touch of coffee there too but a little tartness keeps me from really liking it too. Palate seems a touch on the fizzy side. Drinkable but really that’s about the extent of it..

Nov 29, 2009 Thanks to Bob for the bottle! Poured medium-deep brown with a thick cap of tan head. The aroma picked up sweet, milky chocolates and vanilla with a decidedly cake and brownie feel to it.. sweet and succulent. The flavor found semi-sweet chocolate and black patent maltage at the core.. sharp earthy and bitter coffee notes surrounded.. rather ugly malts and the aforementioned bitterness on the finish. Well-carbonated on the palate, which probably contributed to the sharpness.. beyond that, it had a smooth enough feel. This started out good and ended up meh.

Oct 6, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma and taste is of chocolate and coffee. Medium to heavy body yet lightly carbonated with an overly bitter finish. Decent cream stout but overly bitter to truly enjoy.

Sep 11, 2009 BOTTLE: Dark brown pour, thick tan head. Heavy coffee on the nose, medium bodied, taste is kind of artificial (mainly coffee, milk), okay, but just not a great beer.

Aug 14, 2009 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, chocolate, some peppery hints. Taste yields an astringent bitterness that gets in the way along with some rubbery hints. Nose is much better than the flavor.

Aug 13, 2009 Had at a tasting at a Hy Vee Wine & Spirits. Nice mouthfeel, but off aromas like spoiled milk, and a weak flavor finished with coffee.
