Jul 18, 2009 initial flavors of subtle bittersweet chocolate and coffee. crisp light finish (for a stout). Citrusy hops lean toward astringent and metalic on the finish. doesn’t overpower food.

Jul 18, 2009 Opaque black color. Light roasty aroma. Not much flavor. Very bitter ash aftertaste. Thin, watery feel. Maybe I got a bad bottle. Definitely not my favorite.

Jul 15, 2009 Aroma interesting, smokey notes with dark chocolate, some coffee and possibly some oak. Taste is similar but has a watery beginning to me which I did not enjoy. Not bad overall.

Jul 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours an opaque black with a very small light tan head. Aroma of raisin, roasted malt, burnt malt, chocolate, roasted nuts. Flavor of sweet and roasted malt up front with a sweet finish. Aroma is nice and complex but the flavor/palate doesn’t match up. Just kind of dull to me.

Jul 12, 2009 Bottle. Aroma a bit smoky with anise, orange peel, very bitter chocolate, raisins, charcoal, very complex and enticing. Flavor has tons more of that bitter chocolate, pure, baker’s chocolate, with lots of sweet malty and sticky fruit notes, some butterscotch, and ample amounts of roastiness. Dry, bitter finish despite the feeling at all other points that it’s going to lean toward the sweet side. Entertaining, complex, and a nice big but not big stout.
