May 25, 2006 (Nitro) Pours an opaque black body with a moderate creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. Falvor of roasted malt, coffee, and a hint of chocolate and licorice. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a dry finish.

Jul 14, 2006 On tap at the brewpub on 4/28/06: Pours a rich opaque with dark brown edges and a nicely lacing dark tan nitro head. Aroma of semi-sweet, dark roasty, but mild maltiness. Body starts lightly roasty and sweet with mild toasted flavor, finishing with good viscosity that still goes down smooth with lingering, lightly sweet roasty malts with dark chocolate character.

May 1, 2006 Draft... Pre-DLD06... Black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, lightly tanned head. Excellent retention. Aroma of vanilla beans and chocolate. Chocolately, balanced flavor with a lightly bitter coffee note. Medium-bodied and creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. Excellent example of the style. Brilliant!

Mar 24, 2006 As has been noted repeatedly, this is a Guinness clone- a bit more chocolatey, a bit more watery - but a Guinness clone. I’m not a fan of nitro-ed ales, muting all that makes them good, but this retained a nice bitter, dry finish nonetheless. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Jun 6, 2006 The body was black with a light orange and tan colored head. This left a lot of lace on the glass. The aroma was coffee with some chocoalte. There was also a hintof grass. The taste was muted with chocolate and roasted peanut shells. There was a decent roasted character.

Mar 9, 2006 Nitro pour at Goose Island Stoutfest. Almost black pour with a 1" creamy beige head. ’Nitroey’ feel to the aroma with fresh cocoa, and roasted coffee. Solid flavor followed the aroma well.. coming across as a better-made, fuller Guinness clone. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with nice coffee bitters around the edges. Very solid dry stout.
