Mar 10, 2007 Sampled on tap on 7/15/06 at the Capitol Hill location: Pours a mostly opaque black with brown edges and a large, frothy tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet roasted and caramel malts with some graininess and light hops. Body starts with some earthy dark malty and milk chocolatey flavors thinning some toward a more bitter, slightly drier finish.

"The other blackout stout." Well, not really .This one has an attractive dark pour and a decent aroma, very roasty, but the body is light, the roasts hold back, and the heart seems to be made of sugar water. Nonetheless, it’s fairly pleasing and drinkable as the brews here go. Certainly it’s a long shot better than their porter.

Oct 29, 2006 Draft... Capitol Hill location... Black ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Great retention and lacework. The nose is all coffee, chocolate and toasted cashews. Leans a hair on the sweet side of balance. Big chocolate and restrained vanilla. Medium-bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation. Chocolaty, slightly sweet finish. A very pleasant surprise!

Dark black, tan head, light lacing. Nose of bright roast, sweet astringency and creamy coffee. The flavor is nice and chewy, plenty of fruit and dark malt. Sweet tame finish. Good stout. Blackout?!?!?!
