Jul 4, 2008 22oz. Dark, nearly black, pour with a creamy tan head. Coffee and dutch cocoa aroma, hops, smoky malt, roasty. Flavor is balanced, long bitter finish. Coffee and cocoa again. Smooth, but a tad watery, leaves an oily film. Decent beer.

Jun 12, 2008 Coffee, chocolate, and serious citrus hops. Opaque black, great lacing like all the Elysian drafts. Not quite a Storm King or an Expedition, but just fine.

Jun 12, 2008 Pours black, hint of ruby-brown when held up to the light, rich brown head with moderate retention and some lacing. Spectacular aroma of chocolate, black licorice, dark coffee and herbs. Flavor is roasty with a dry, herbal finish and a respectable hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is rich and without too much carbo getting in the way. Delicious.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, beautiful, medium brown head. Aroma is roast malt and a touch of coffee. Flavor is again roasted malt and coffe, maybe a touch of chocolate in the background. The palate starts off average, but the finish is a nice coffee bitterness.

May 26, 2008 Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting. Picked up a 22-oz bomber from John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon, pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and off-white ring. Aroma of toasted dark malts, chocolate, some coffee, molasses and a touch of grassy hops. Taste is full bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of toasted dark malt, some coffee and a touch of candi sugar. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild sweet toasted dark malt and citrus bitter aftertaste that slowly disappears.

May 26, 2008 Chocolate. Dark. Rich. A nice beer in a 6th ave Taproom that suddenly felt like a place for college kids. Despite the good beer selection, the crowd was young and the type to go for a pitcher rather than a pint. Still, this stout is nice and a second place finish for not making it to the pub itself.
