Oct 19, 2001 A very good cream stout with a good story behind the name. Easy to drink and not overpowering.

May 4, 2003 Black Black Blackity Black Black. Man, this is a DARK beer. The head is almost brown. Can smell burnt toast and bacon. Smoky, dry flavors, and incredibly full bodied. Maybe some charcoal, too. For a beer this heavy, it finishes with some finesse. The head stay mostly intact till the last drop.

Dec 25, 2006 Smells like burnt dark chocolate and tastes like it too, but in a good way. Thick and coating, this is definitely one of those one-at-a-time beers, but worth it.

Dec 18, 2001 Samson would be proud to have this wonderful dark, smooth brew in his name. Wish he could have had some of the spent grains to enjoy.

Sep 7, 2007 Had this one bottled thanks to Slothgar! The story is heartbreaking, I hate poachers. The beer itself is opaque dark brown with very little head, lots of sweet coffe in the nose, an amazing stout with plenty of chocolate, sweet malts, and bitter coffee. Awesome!

Mar 30, 2003 Incredibly dark, almost no light got through this one. Almost no head, and the little that was there was brownish and quickly dissapated. Roasty all around, from the aroma to the taste. Great beer.

Mar 2, 2002 upon opening, beer had an overwhelming aroma of alcohol...perhaps oxygen tempered that...but this is one great beer with a roasty flavor
