Tasted at the April Northern California Beer Tasting. This foreign stout pours a deep black color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized tan head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee with some wood. A medium bodied stout. The malts are chocolate and burnt malts. The hops are earthy. There is a fairly pronounced ashiness to this beer, which sort of detracts from the other flavors. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and a touch of ash.

Jul 12, 2008 This was a really great beer. Poured black as hell with a dark brown/reddish head. I smell chocolate, toffee, cane syrup and molasses. Thick and rich on the palate...great roastiness and really good chocolate on the tongue. This one was a winner. Very, very nice!

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 25, 2008 Bomber, I think a newer one via trade, and shared with my GF Cyn. Pours black with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and rich with lots of nice maltyness. Taste is sweet chocolaty and overall pretty damn nice. Nice brew.
