Jul 6, 2008 Dark black body, ring of tan head. Aroma is sweet, a bit of roast and dark chocolate. Flavor has a dark roasted quality, nice oaty flavor, bakers chocolate, dry roasted bitter finish.

Jul 1, 2008 Served in pint glass: Great dark brown almost black brew. No head when it was served but believe it just disipated. Strong hints of coffee. Could have been a bit thicker.

Jul 1, 2008 Draft - Never sure what to expect, I was once again pleasantly surprised by this beer. This stout didn’t have near the flavor, aroma, or complexity of the samuel smiths or schlafly, but it did present a decent toasted malt characted which was very pleasant.

Jun 19, 2008 Draft @ Arundel Mills location. Dark pour and huge roasty aroma. Foamy head and some lacing. Huge bitterness from roasted malts and a slew of oatmeal along with some coffee hints makes this a not bad "breakfast stout". Surprisingly unsweet. Little to no hop bitterness and a bit thin. An okay stout.

Jun 6, 2008 Draft @ Arundel Mills location. Pours a dark, chocolate brown color; light tan head with glistening, fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma; some coffee; solid amounts of mineral / citrus bitterness; very pleasant hop character. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: zesty mineral / herbal hop character upfront, followed by roasted malts, coffee, and milk chocolate; very nicely balanced, lively stout; solid levels of carbonation; very drinkable. Medium finish: breadiness, toasty malts, dough, and lingering chocolate.
