Jul 2, 2008 The aroma is what I wanted it’s got molasses, hops, roasted malt, and coffee. The appearance is dark brown with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but thin. Overall it’s decent.

Jun 29, 2008 Pours very dark, good taste but not great. Palate is overall smooth but there is a bit of carbonation in this stout. Not my favorite stout but an overall good tasting brew.

Jun 28, 2008 Been wanting to try this for some time now. Pours dark brown, almost black with small head. Aroam was nice with choclate, coffee, and maple. The taste was a nice balance of those flavors with light sweetness and light fizziness in the finish. Light to medium body.

Jun 12, 2008 Earthy carmelly malts, molasses butterscotch, toffee, vanilla. Slightly smokey, cola aroma. Dry grass, burnt marshmellow sweet roasted malts.
Some lighter fruity notes (banana, cherries), and a rubbing-alchohol burn. Minor hops comes through the darkness as well.
Hickcory smoke up front.
Darkly roasted barley + molasses dominate. Notes of dark coffee, licorice, cocoa. Sweet fruits noted in aroma are subdued, bananas and chocolate ice cream describes it.
Enough citric hops comes in near finish to keep it dry.
Not enough bubbly, palate overdone with malty thickness. Slight tang that reminds me of dried cherries. Nice dry finish with slight stickiness.
This Stout has a unique floral freshness to it that I dig, probably due to the generous (for this style) hops.
The flavor didn’t meet the expectations I got from the excellent aroma, but still a noteworthy stout.

May 18, 2008 Bottle @ home. Pours a dark brown body with some deep amber around the edges when held up to the light and a small creamy off-white head. The aroma has some sweetness slightly yeasty as well as oatmeal and cereal components, sugary malts and cocoa. A fruity nutty finish which is slightly bitter. The mouth feel is medium thick. Average stout.
