Nov 1, 2009 Pours a dark black color with a tan head that faded down fast. Aroma has a very robust roasted and burnt note, chocolate, and a light coffee presence. Flavor combines a dark roasted malt note early with a very smooth chocolate flavor to sweeten up the beer, a mild coffee bitter bite and finishes with a sweeter dark fruit note. Moderate body, creamy texture and low carbonation rounds out the beer. Overall a very good brew with a great roasted note and sweet chocolate to compliment this.

Oct 15, 2009 Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours very dark with a light three finger tan head. Aroma of chocolate underlaid by some burnt malt. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is really burnt malt with some mild chocolate. A touch of ash. Works for me.

Oct 13, 2009 Pours clear, dark brown with a mahogany tint when held to the light and a 1 finger, fizzy, tan head that fades to a skim and ring pretty quickly and is gone soon after that. At that point this stuff looks exactly like cola. Aroma is light roast, oats, toasty chocolate and some woody (maple?) notes. Flavor is sweet and roasty malts up front, a little burnt toffee, toasted oats and light chocolate syrup (like in coffee shops, not Hershey’s). Light cardboard and metallic notes come in for the finish with some ashy roast and fried banana, strange stuff. Palate is very thin and slightly dry with an active and very prickley carbonation, not great for a stout. I didn’t really enjoy this stuff too much, not really terrible, just doesn’t really appeal to me too much.

Sep 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Red-brown black color. Minimal beige head. Dry, oaty stout aroma. Smooth, medium bodied. Pleasant chocolate edge to it. Dry and crisp, almost sandily bitter. OK.
