Apr 8, 2009 Bottle to pint glass. Dark brown with light brown head. Very light in flavor, light mouthfeel. Weak for a stout. Ultimately, a forgettable beer.

Mar 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from trade with adamharbaugh. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Nose is awesome. Vanilla with rosted malt, booze, dark fruit, and some coffee hiding out behind intense vannilla flavor. Flavor is a bit underwhelming for everything that the aroma promised. Lots of lingering, overpowering vanilla with roasted undertones and a few other flavors hiding behind the vanilla with a Napolean complex. Finish of this medium-bodied beer is lingering vanilla. Interesting and enjoyable.

Mar 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Nose is coffee, vanilla and charred wood with odd grape notes. Medium body with sharp, sprightly carb. Taste about like it smells with bittersweet chocolate. Finishes with lime peel; oaky drying. Not an Imperial Stout but still seems a bit washed out.

Mar 20, 2009 Sampled in Lexington. Pours rather dark, witha good amount of big bubbly foam, not too common for a stout. Has a very charcoaly / roasted flavor. The vanilla flavor is there, but its not too strong. A pretty good brew.

Mar 13, 2009 From a bottle poured dark brown with a small head. Not a very good malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Mar 8, 2009 [Bottle] Pours dark brown with a small cocoa head. Aroma is smokey, some oak, coffee, and hints of vanilla and something sulforous. A little strange, but it is not terribly offensive. Taste is big on roasted malt with subdued bitterness and a tiny bit of chcolate. Average mouthfeel, quite smooth, and has a good length finish. Not overly impressive.

Mar 3, 2009 12 oz bottle from State Line Liquors. Pours a light black with a smaller foamy beige head. Aroma is all over the place with some initial notes of soy sauce and black olives, medium aroma of rasted malts finishing with some vanilla and charcoal. Thin watery body with strong bubbly carbonation. Flavor of earth, okay I mean dirt, vanilla, some toasted black malts perhaps a touch of spring water. This one is waaay overrated.

Mar 1, 2009 Updated: Mar 2, 2009bottle from total wine in norfolk. pours a slightly thick, very dark brown with a thick, creamy light tan head. aroma isn’t huge but is quite nice with scents of roasted nuts. cofee, a bit of charred wood, and a chocolate malt ball note. flavor is solid, but nothing special. smoked wood and roasted coffee up front with the slightest hint of oak and vanilla coming in late with a lingering coffee finish. palate is a bit light for a stout and felt slightly thin with a bit too much carbonation. overall, a decent stout that with a little more style could be quite delicious.
