Strong roasted aroma, pours black as pitch, the the is strong but very smooth, not bitter like some stouts. Very drinkable, right now, I wish I had two...

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle->wine glass (all they had): Pours an average, rocky, light brown head atop a black body. Heavy malt aroma, average yeast aroma, and a burnt sugar and coffee aroma. Body is medium, texture is slick, and the finish is astringent. The flavor’s duration is long, lightly sweet and acidic.
Not a bad stout, but nothing compelling to bring me back.

Oct 6, 2008 A black colored beer, with a foamy beige head. It disappears rather soon. The aroma of strong coffee with notes of dark roasted malts. The taste of chocolate, with coffee, dry bitterness. The roasted bitterness lingers on.

does not count  Oct 1, 2008 750ml bottle sampled from a snifter type glass. Good pour with a foamy head. Dark tan in colour with strong hoppy aromas
nearbeer (1338), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
Oct 1, 2008 375 ml, best after 2007! Opaque with a quarter-inch foam that leaves nice webbing on the glass. Initial sweet aromas of molasses, char, marshmallow and graham cracker. Flavor is surprisingly much less sweet: roasty tastes of char, coffee and cocoa more than tame some light marshmallow, vanilla and molasses. Also some tangy green herbs to liven things up. Medium body is watery and nearly chalky dry.
