Oct 6, 2009 On tap at GABF 2009. Black in color with a medium-sized, thick tan head. Aroma pretty standard, yet well-done, coffee, chocolate, and roast. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, and anise. Slightly sweet. Body is medium and the mouthfeel is smooth, with medium-low carbonation. This is no Sexual Chocolate for sure, but it is good.

Oct 4, 2009 2009 GABF Saturday. Had a couple samples of this while waiting for Sexual Chocolate to come on tap! Certainly no slouch, however. Strong roasty, chocolate notes with a milky-smooth body. Finish is long but semi-dry. A great drinking stout!

May 17, 2009 Sampled via roving 64-oz growler during Dark Lord Day ’09. Pours a dark, near opaque, clear brown brew with a creamy and thick off-white head that slowly disipates to a fine film and off-white head. Some spotty lacing but still quite thick. Aroma of sweet black malt, toasted multi-grain malt and a touch of sweetened coffee. Taste is medium to full bodied, very light carbonation with a grainy texture. Flavors has mostly dark toasted multi-grain malt with little hop presence. Finish is slightly dry with a dark toasted malt aftertaste along with a short lived mild bitterness.

Lots of roasted barley in the aroma- nutty, burtn chocoalte malts, toffee, and a slight minty licorice hint. Flavor is dark choclate hints of coffee, and a nutty burnt roasted barley, toffee, and a moderate sweetness- hints of earth as well. Finishes fairly dry for 7%.

Apr 1, 2009 Was hoping for a taste of the imperial stout but had to settle for this as none was available. Dark black with caramel head. Very chalky and left my mouth with a dryish feeling. Flavors not readily apparent. Disappointing.
