May 17, 2008 Thick black color with a thick, soapy head. Smells of roasted chocolate. The flavor’s more dark chocolate and some coffee. Not a complex or particularly strong flavor, just nice balance and well made. Finishes a bit sticky...good stuff.

May 15, 2008 Nice roastiness in the nose with a hint of chocolate, though mostly coffee and roasted grain. A bit thin in body. leathery and some pepper coming across in the taste. If this had more body, it could be a pretty good stout, but as it stands, comes up a bit short. Nice though.
