Oct 28, 2008 Tapped at Lucky Baldwins. It is really dark and sweet. Chocolate and plum/fig aroma and flavor. A good beer but not my favorite in the lineup we tasted with Stone anniversarys and RR-salvation.

Oct 26, 2008 On draft at Beachwood BBQ.
This is a nice looking pour: walnut brown with a 1’’ dirty white head. The flavor is dry with some chocolate notes and it has a nice roasty aroma. Very tasty.

Oct 22, 2008 On cask at Stone Brewing. Aroma: chocolate, roasted nuts and slight alcohol. Pours dark, dark brown (almost black) with full tan head. Flavor: begins with sweet chocolate and roasted malt. The middle is like sweet, subtle plums. Finishes with a dry smokey throat with a slight alcohol burn which moves up into the sinus. Medium to heavy body. Ok lacing. Drinkability is high, very easy to drink. Like a less potent and smoother Imperial Stout with a dry finish. Really nice!

Feb 4, 2008 Updated: Mar 14, 2008It’s good. On tap at Pure Luck in Hollywood - this proximity to the brewery in Pasadena may account for the clarity and purity of the taste. A very soft, round dark ale which I place somewhere between a sweet stout and a Belgian quad. No dryness here, just sweet chocolate, dark fruit like date and overripe plum.

Feb 2, 2008 On-tap, Stone Bistro 11/17/07. Pours a dark, somewhat opaque brown color. Somewhat dense brown head that laces the glass. Smells of roasty and toasty malts. Chocolatey. Tastes of chocolate and dark toasted malts. Palate is thin but not too thin, good carbonation.
Good brew, one of the more drinkable Stouts I’ve tried. One that actually had some body to it anyway.

Jan 26, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz.
Pours black but not completely opaque. Head is dense and tan, with some lacing.
Aroma is clearly dark chocolate with some raw coffee and a hint of dark fruits.
Taste starts with dark chocolate with a slightly boozy cherry note, then finishes with coffee grounds.
A little thin in body, but the carbonation and smoothness are top notch.
Extremely drinkable beer.
