Sampled this beer at the Dundee location. Severed with a very thick creamy head which lasted the whole drink and left great lacing on the side of the glass. This stout has a very light aroma of roasted malt and was very black in color. Taste was very creamy and bitter flavor similar to a dark coffee and finishes with a great dry feeling on the tongue. Overall this was a much better Irish stout than the previous years at this location. I will probably have one of these again soon.

Apr 15, 2008 Pour is black with ruby highlights and a thick brown head...smell is roasty with lots of cocoa and some coffee...thin mouthfeel...roasty coffee flavor with subtle sweetness...

Mar 25, 2008 Draught, 3/24/08 at Downers Grove. This did not seem terribly different to me from their Oatmeal Stout. The biggest difference being a less smoky coffee like character. Pitch black, nitro foam head. Aroma of toasted malt. Dry, finishes dark roast bitter. Not as creamy as its Oatmeal cousin.

Apr 8, 2007 Updated: Apr 9, 2007Some of the classic dry stout flavors are here...coffee, roasted coffee, and then some burnt coffee...but the watery texture and insubstantial mouthfeel did not help the experience. The finish was also classically dry, but just not enough to bring me back around again. (The style needs to be creamy and substantial to really work)

Sep 17, 2006 Draft Downer’s Grove- No aroma on a black body. Has an off white head. Taste of a watered down stout with ahint of roasted malt. Very bad. Too watery.
