Dec 7, 2008 Pours mahogany with a creamy head. Smells of dark chocolate and coffee with roasted malt. Nice smooth texture with a complex flavor. One of the best regular stouts I have had.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma of coffee beans, roasted malt, and roasted nuts. Flavor of peanut butter and sweet malt. Sweetness in the finish. The sweetness, at least for me, keeps this from being a great beer, but it’s still pretty darn good!

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle, bottled 11/4/08. Aroma of bitter, roasted coffee, espresso, roasted malt. Flavor again emphasizes those wonderful bitter coffee and espresso tones, and I think the bitterness is really helped along by the chicory, though I’m not terribly familiar with chicory, so I can’t say for sure. In any case, a superb bitterness and a superb coffee edge make for a very nicel stout here.

Nov 28, 2008 Pour is a dark brown with a tight tan head. Dry roasted coffee and chocolate are prominent. Easy drinking stout.

Nov 28, 2008 1000 ratings for this beer. Bottle. Very dark brown. Nice tan head. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, oak and some espresso notes. Flavor is sweet with some dark fruit, chocolate and maybe a hint of molasses. Interesting beer, but not one of DFH’s best.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very deep brown with reddish streaks on the outer edges of the glass and a tan head. Aroma is surprisingly mild for this beer - I detected cocoa, roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee. Taste is chocolate and roasted malt up front, and I also detected oak, vanilla, and slight dark fruit/licorice noticeable on the finish. Smooth throughout and very little alcohol burn. It seemed like a rather by-the-numbers stout, but an enjoyable by-the-numbers stout. I didn’t detect any chicory in here, but then again I’m no coffee drinker so I might have just missed it.

Nov 18, 2008 Very dark brown color, almost black, medium sized head that doesn’t last. Aroma is malts, vanilla, some smoke but it’s very mild. Sweet tasting, some roasty malt, caramel, coffee, perhaps some smoky wood, light bitterness, but this is very thin and finishes empty. Sweet and lacking some punch... seems to be a common trend with Dogfish Head. I admit the bottle was a little old so maybe it deserves another try.

Nov 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown, almost black color with a brown, medium-sized head. Aromas of coffee, licorice, roasted malts, and hints of chicory. Creamy start with an oily finish for texture, smooth with just the right amount of carbonation. Wonderful taste from start to finish - highly recommended!
