Mar 22, 2008 Pours black with a fine, light head. Strong, sweet, cakey smell. Lighter mouth feel with a strong, almond/coconut flavor. Crazy.

Mar 20, 2008 Updated: Mar 21, 2008Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a dark brown with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet malty and almond flavors. The taste is pretty nice; some vanilla, almonds, cherry, a dry roasted malt and some light hops. The almond does taste kinda unnatural. Overall, not bad at all.

Mar 19, 2008 12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is malt and chocolate. Taste is smooth, light almond after taste to finish. This was pretty good, I’d drink it again.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle from Turdferguson. Not bad. the Alomond was like an extract flavor but this was light enough for me to sip on while I ate supper. Most Stouts would be a bit heavy for me to do this with. the flavors was a bit roasty. Not great but not bad.

Feb 22, 2008 bottle. average creamy brown head into black body. aromas of strong almonds, coffee, and chocolate. flavor is sweet with a touch of bitter. long finish duration. I would like this much better if not for the almonds. They just don’t do it for me.

Feb 4, 2008 Dark black pour, nice mocha head. Nutty aroma with some butterscotch and sugary accents. Nutty flavor throughout with some coffee hints in the background and some underlying chocolate. The almonds present a weird twang that permeates throughout and dampens my entusiasm for this just a bit. Begins to metalicize near the end. Pretty thin mouthfeel. Surprise find in the back of a refrigerator at a Super Bowl party - host said he got it in one of those beer of the month clubs.

Feb 2, 2008 Updated: Oct 5, 2008Opaque stout, light brown head. Pleasant aroma, hint of a roasty almond. Just enough hopiness to make it interesting, could have more. Very drinkable though, good mix of mocha, vanilla, with the almond at the end. This years version doesn’t seem to have the negative after effects last years version did. Haven’t cared for any of Carolina Beer Company’s other efforts, but I’d buy this one again.
