AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Oct 14, 2009 Nitro pours black with a viscous tan head. Nice dry blackened malty aromas with some black coffee. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Classic flavor is dry black malts with a mildly bitter finish. Decent enough.@ Tangletown. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 3, 2009 A creamy but somewhat off aroma. This is only okay. More creamy than dry, this beer doesn’t match up to the rest of their beers. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Sep 29, 2009 Nose is dark and roasty with a hint of burnt malts and lightly tart. Pours dark brown, more or less black with a huge creamy tan head. The flavor is roasty and burnt with a subtle light sweetness and a hint of tartness from the portion of sour mash. Easy drinking yet flavorful. Smooth carbonation. Rather enjoyable IMO. DalzAle (474), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA Sep 11, 2009 Tap. Dark black pour, 1/4 inch cookie colored head with a distinct peat aroma. Flavor was very smoky peat, chocolate and was creamy and lasting on the finish. Very good beer, I could see this pairing very well with BBQ. BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 28, 2009 On nitro Tap At Elysian Fields Seattle. Pours out a creamy dark brown topped with a tan head. Aroma was of coffee and some dark roast malts. Taste was dark roast, a light smoke, some bitterness at the end. Not bad. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Jul 6, 2009 Tap at RnH. Dry, chalky, thin and cabonic nose. Medium bodied, sloppy, carbonic and chalky flavor. Easy drinking. I am a big fan of the style (and the brewer) but this is just not well done at all. CUJO (339), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jun 29, 2009 Rattle’n’Hum: Pours a very dark brown, very little to no head, very little carbonation. Aroma was very hard to catch, very faint. Obvious coffee, some bitters but overall very watery.
