Oct 16, 2009 Tap @ brew pub: Dark brown color with a unexpected, but pleasant hoppy aroma. You can definitely taste the additional hops which was different, but good for Church since most of their beers taste the same. This one actually stands out. I would add that it has less of a "Sweet Stout" finish and more of a Porter. Anyway, pretty good.

Sep 24, 2009 On tap at the Church. Deep brown black pour with very little head. Cocoa and coffee aroma was mild but very noticeable in the flavor, particularly on the finish which was nice, clean, and dry. Palate was nice and well rounded but not too thick, which I liked. Overall a nice stout, but I prefer their more rich and wine-like Imperial Stout.

Sep 20, 2009 (draft @ Church Brew Works - Pittsburgh, PA) Dark black with a soapy looking tan head. Aroma is very roasty and malty with light hints of chocolate and bitter hops. Flavor is very nicely roasted, counterbalanced with a mild hop bitterness and light chocolate. Went down very smooth.

Mar 18, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a deep black-brown, with a creamy hazlenut whipped cream head. Silky. Nice solid roast nose, backed with fresh coffee, light alcohol, and cream. Flavor is soft and balanced, with fresh crisp black roast and nice soft alcohol content. Not overly expressive, but a bit salty and oaky as this kind of stout should be. Bright and fresh. Very nice.

Jan 31, 2009 Draft from the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Roasty aroma with a touch of sweetness. Dry roasted flavor, a little bit nutty, and a hint of coffee. Pretty bad.

Jun 20, 2007 Growler courtesy of lukin013. Pours brown with a creamy tan head. Smells nutty with some underlying chocolate. Tastes nutty with a nicely balanced amount ofroastiness. A bit on the watery side, but otherwise an above average stout with an herbal semi-sweet finish.

Jun 14, 2007 Excellent stout, almost black in color, creamy dark tan head that left very nice lacing around the glass, nose full of roasted grain, bread & toffee, very smooth & drinkable, creamy body with flavors of toasted malt, coffee & dark chocolate, creamy finish as well, very delicious

Apr 19, 2007 Dark brown body, creamy nitro tan head. Slightly roasty winey merlot-like taste. Some chocolate for sweetness. Chocolate is roasty. Okay... interesting with the tanniny wine in there.
