Aug 19, 2008 Bottle shared by turd. Pours a dark black with a tan head. The nose was sweet, grainy, smelled some light catfood (?), a little roast. The flavor was smokey, grainy, a bit subdued. Not very upfront but I’ve found that to be the case with most of the foreign stouts I’ve had. As Jason mentioned coming right after the Trooper may have been no good.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle shared by Turdferguson - thanks, Sam! Thick black pour, beige head. Slightly too thin, although perhaps to style. It also had a tough time following the stout trooper, but in general I found this to be a competent drink, with a nice smoky malt finish.

Jul 31, 2008 This was a solid stout that had a great aroma or roasty chocolate malts. There seemed to be a solid hoppy flavor and bitterness to this one. A solid beer but i dont know if i like the hop presense to this one.

Jul 26, 2008 Independence, Oh. - Discount Drug Mart - 22 oz bomber. Pours a tar black with a deep, dark, mocha colored head that coats the glass with nice lacing. Pleasant aroma with some coffee accents, dried fruit and chicory. Flavor has a nice dry and roasted presence to it with some day old coffee notes, some chicory, a bit of licorice and some prune-like fruitiness in the back end. Mouthfeel is dry and rich - just right for the style. Pleasantly surprised. Served as a good nightcap.
