Mar 25, 2008 (Dégusté avec french) Tres belle couleur chocolaté, avec un collet brunatre et mousseux. Odeur de sel, creme, alcohol, banane, poivre. Arome d’une douceur incroyable, tres cremeuse et sucré. Biere tres bien balancé par contre un peu trop concentrer en licorice.

Mar 25, 2008 22 oz. bottle - 2007 vintage; pours jet black with foaming tan head; aromas of chocolate, coffee and a touch of smoke; slight woody too; aromas and flavors are rich and thick; oily texture with roasted aftertaste; incredibly smooth after just 6 weeks or so of sitting; a fresh bottle just after release was very bitter IMO

Mar 24, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2008Shared with Pyrozoid. Pitch black poor with a nice foamy light brown head. Aromas of chocolate, lactose, mesquite, smoked wood, burnt toast, banana bread and licorice. Very creamy, velvetty mouthfeel... Perfectly balanced sweetness and bitterness... Slightly salty. Flavors are predominant of licorice... slightly chocolaty and coffee. Just not what i expected, licorice just doesn’t jive for me... yet VERY commendable.

Mar 23, 2008 ’07 Bottle: Wow, what a pour on this, thick, oily black with just a hint of a head. Massive licorice nose with some dark fruits, chocolate, oak and brown sugar. Very enticing and only got better as it warmed. Thick, syrupy mouth feel that lead to a dry coffee blast, followed by a rush of barrel-aged dark fruits, licorice and some slight herbal tones. There seemed to be a very subtle dark chocolate essence lingering that kind of binded everything together perfectly. Very nice stuff, glad I have one more bottle.

Mar 22, 2008 Updated: Sep 21, 2008It isn’t the most complex thing ever, but you know what? It’s damn dark and I would absolutely go way out of my way to get it again. It’s like coffee and charcoal jam.

Mar 21, 2008 Pours a deep dark brown/black with a foamy 2 finger tan head. Nose is oak, charred malt, chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Palate is roasted coffee, cocoa, molasses, fruit and a bit of hop bitter bite at the end. I didn’t detect any licorice. Creamy mouth feel and nice lacing. You can tell it’s not quite there yet, but the pieces are in place. I bet this will really be a great beer in a year or so. Still very good as is.

Mar 21, 2008 Had on tap at Newport pizza and Ale. Wow, this pours really dark, you can’t see light through at all. The aroma is insane, it had kinda a blueberry scent that changed into more of a rich chocolatey coffee bean. This stout has many different levels and was nicely balanced masking the abv neatly, I guess I better try to find some of these bombers before there all gone or selling on ebay~ IS NiCCCCccce
