Jan 9, 2008 Updated: Mar 6, 200822 oz. bottle pours an opaque black liquid with a light brown head. Has a malty sweet , chocolate aroma with a whiff of alcohol. Medium bodied and very smooth. Has a blackened malt taste with a nicely bitter triple-shot mocha/alcohol finish. The flavors here are bold and straight forward, no surprizes. Whether on tap or in a fresh or aged bottle, this stout never disappoints. A regular in my fridg along side its stout cousin Obsidian.

Jan 7, 2008 Bottle from 5000/Larry Pitonka. The pour was pitch black, nice choco-colored head, great retention, very nice lacing. The aroma was wonderful, lactic chocolate notes along with some roasty coffee. The flavor followed the aroma, very well crafted and balanced, the only consolation in watching OSU get man-handled by LSU tonite. Milky chocolate, cocoa, and coffee blends that went together very nicely, semi-sweet finish, but not sweet. Mouthfeel was full, short of sticky, nicely supported by the malts and carbonation both. Thanks, Andre, great stuff!
