Jul 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Haven’t tried this beer in a few years. Black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Creamy vanilla flavor giving way to chocolate before the coffee finish. Finishes a bit thin, but no complaints beyond that.

Jul 13, 2009 12 oz bottle at brickskeller in DC. Pours a dark brown color typical of a stout, some light passes through. Leaves a little lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty, with some chocolate and vanilla as advertised. Flavor is also sweet and malty but not too overpowering as the aroma would suggest. A little hint of bitterness is also present. Palate was kind of watery but overall not too shabby. Kind of like a hybrid between a decent sweet stout and dry stout.

Jun 25, 2009 Tap at Dulles Airport. Nice deep black pour with thinned tannish head. Toasty chocolate to start but a smokey presence was lurking as well. An earhty vibe works with the sweet bittering backbone to provide nice contrast and solid drinkability.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerHawk. Pours black with deep red hues and a one finger tan head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is vanilla, molasses and ashy cocoa. The taste is vanilla, brunt malt, ashy cocoa and some light bitter hops in the finish. Medium creamy mouthfeel. Decent brew. Thanks Steve!

Jun 11, 2009 Draft at Dullas airport tap. Black-brown, opaque with small but lasting tan head and a little lace. Great smokey aroma. Mild coffee, rich, good, but needed to warm up to bring out the aromas. Wood smoke and cola in the flavors. Finishes watery and never really comes to fruition but is still a good, easygoing brew.
