Bottle. Black pour with light lacing. Aroma could have been more rich, flavor oatmeal, chocolate, and malt but light on the texture could have more creamy or full bodied.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Black thin pale tan head. A very dry and choccy aroma of a stout. It’s absolutely fine, but you know what? I’m just not bothered by this at all. Some choccy cream in it. So an untirely capable beer, which I just am not that bothered about.

Nov 25, 2009 Sample at the Goose Island tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 11/19/09. Pours the darkest of browns with a medium tan head. Roasty coffee and creamy chocolate nose. Chocolate flavor with roasty coffee and a dry, ashy finish. A little more finesse on the finish would have been nice, but that’s just being nitpicky. A truly good beer.
