Feb 23, 2004 12 oz. bottle: opaque violet with a brown milky - melted ice cream head. Strong roasted grain and grinded coffee bean aroma. Burnt chocolate, dark wheat Chex, and rye add depth to the already pleasant aromatics. Almost spritzy mouth feel, which is a little odd, but grows on me as it delivers the creamy chocolate, bitterly smooth coffee, and brown sugar coated oatmeal across my tongue. Dry roasted finish that is lacking any additional flavours, but does nudge me back for another sip, well done.

Feb 6, 2004 Dark in colour with a thin tan head that is long lasting. Sour malts in the nose with some alcohol and hops pulling through. The taste is smokey bitter malts. The body is bubbly.

Jan 27, 2004 Nice black body but a brief tan head. Unimpressive aroma and a fizzy mouthfeel with a weak coffee flavor. Disappointing.

Jan 2, 2004 Nice dark color. Light brown head with strong smell of oats and malt. Seems a little green to me. Slightly syrupy, sweet taste. Would like more coffee or chocolate flavor. Fairly thin in body.

Dec 26, 2003 Dark, slightly reddish. Nice creamy mocha head. Nose is a bit roasty, definitely get good chocolate, nice promise. Roasty flavor, some chocolate character, bug doesn't finish with much heft or bite.

Dec 1, 2003 Pitch black with a light tan head. Smells incredibly strong and rich... thick french roast coffee and licorice, and a small amount of hickory smoke flavor. Feels thick and oily, sludge basically... really impressing me. The oatmeal flavor is mild, not artificial and not transparent. It really tastes like it belongs in this stout. Syrupy and sweet finish rounds out a great sweet stout.
