Mar 3, 2004 Pours an opaque black with a thick pillowy tan head with good lacing. Mild aroma with a touch of tartness and roasted malt. Body is thin, sour, and disappointing. Finishes somewhat malty and tart. It looked so good, but just didn't taste that way.

Mar 4, 2004 (Nitro) Deep brown with riby highlights, produces a creamy tan head and very good lace. The aroma has a lactic sourness, burnt malts, caramel, floral hops, and dusty yeast esters. The taste reminds me of bittersweet chocolate with that noticeable lactic twang which works well on the nose but not the palate. The finish has nutty, coffee grinds, and bitter notes. Thin-bodied with a sticky quality but too fizzy. The sour taste overpowered the mocha and made this beer not fully enjoyable.

Oct 31, 2002 No distinct aroma, thick, creamy pour with a lacy head. Very dark black appearance. Initially smooth and smoky but bitters up toward the end.
Not bad for a microbrewery stout.

Jun 7, 2004 This was an aswesome dry stout. Not overly dry or overly sweet. Perfectly balanced, with just a little too much carbonation. Lots of coffee, creamy roasted richness and subtle dark chocolate flavors in the aftertaste. This one really leaves you wanting another pint.

Nov 6, 2002 Murky brown-black with stiff camel foam. Chocolate and coffee stout aroma. Bitter chocolate, expresso and fairly hopped flavor. Velvet palate with sharp nutty finish. Quite good. Compares favorably, in overall quality, to Heartland’s Farmer Jon Oatmeal Stout.

Jun 23, 2002 As for appearance, I need not describe it. Pretty typical for a stout. For an Irish style dry stout, it’s unusually powerful in flavor. The espesso flavor of the dark malt is strong and there are some underlying caramel flavors and aromas underneath. Since it isn’t served on nitro it won’t come across quite as creamy as Guinness, but it is more flavorful.

Feb 22, 2004 Black appearance with a moderate head and good lacing. Chocolate and coffee flavor with a hint of smoke. Medium bodied with a bitter finish. A good dry stout.
