Dec 22, 2009 22 oz bottle. The pour is black with a medium tan head. The nose is roasted dark malt, chocolate, coffee, and small amounts of hops. The taste is similar to the smell with a good hop bite on the back end and a small amount of smoke. Nice drinkable stout.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. 25.4oz. Pours deep, dark brown, nearly black with an extremely creamy, lacy beige head. Aroma of chocolate, cinnamon, clove, barley, roasted malts, and nutmeg. Smoothy, silky body with a very moderate, yet delicately spicy mouthfeel. Slow, bittersweet finish. Great stout from Rogue.

Dec 20, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours dark black with creamy frothy brown head. Smells of roasted dark malts, slight chocolate / coffee aroma. Hops also noticeable in aroma. Taste is of rich, roasty malt, balanced with slight hoppiness on finish. As advertised pretty mellow stout, very drinkable, nice, nothing too exciting here though.

Dec 19, 2009 On tap at a Rogue bar in Portland. Deep black with a cream top. Nuts, chocolate, cream and a bit of fruit. Good balance of aroma and body, both of which is not overpowering. Bitterness and coffee at the end but finish is shorter than expected. This is pretty impressive.

Dec 10, 2009 This brew is a very dark brown, almost black in color. Aroma is of sweeter malts, chocolate, and some slight hops. Taste is full of malts, with chocolate, roasty, and some hops in the end. Has a chocolaty and hop aftertaste. Impressive.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Pours black as night with a three finger khaki colored head which settles down to a beautiful ring just covering the top of the brew.
S: Nice and malty with hints of underlying chocolate.
T: Malt, oats, and caramel are the first thing to hit me. Then a nice warmth of chocolate comes thru with just a hint of charcoal in the finish.
M: I love the way this beer feels in the mouth. It’s really smooth, crisp and clean. Very nice.
