Sep 25, 2008 Dark brown pour with light tan head and lace. Toasted malt and coffee on the nose. Burnt coffee, chocolate, and a heavy roasted malt flavor. A good bitter finish. Medium bodied just a breath thin. Nice warm stout with a good lingering bitter.

Oct 8, 2007 on tap-pours a big creamy retaining light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-roasty/chocolate. Taste is dark malt-coffee/roasty/chocolate, some acidic-hops. OK carbonation.

Jul 13, 2007 Head (if there was one) faded to wisps of film over a deep black/cola brown body. Coffee roasts dominate aroma. Sharp mouth which could be fuller/thicker. (Somehow it becomes more dense as it warms.) Well-roasted malt flavor, lightly smoked, touching upon Rauchbier persona. I can see similarities drawn to Guinness FES, but that beer has a heightened sweetness and a tad more chocolate. ABV remains well-hidden.
