Oct 14, 2002 For a place that brews their own stout, this was good! It was very smooth and creamy, and quite enjoyable. I have to dissagree with the below comment, because most of us are used to commercial stout, this was actaully brewed their and served their. So as far as fresh goes, it was about as fresh a stout as one can get. I liked it.

Apr 16, 2003 Dark hue with a nice oat/malt aroma. Smooth flavor domintated by oats with a lightly roasted espresso undertone. Very smooth, tastey maltedness. Finishes somewhat thin with a touch of bitterness.

Dec 27, 2002 Nice sweet stout. More coffee notes than chocolate. Smooth, fresh and creamy with medium body. Great on tap or in the bottle.

May 30, 2003 Pitch black beer - no light escapes at all. Mocha chocolate colored head, smallish really but decent retention. 1st pass - muted coffee tones mixed with red wine. Not real agressive given the bold appearance. 2nd pass - still laying kind of flat expecting the aroma to jump out. Somewhat disappointing. 3rd pass - some malt hints trying to escape but still essentially dead. Time to taste this bad boy. good mouthfeel- there is real body here. The flavor on entry is straight ahead coffee that dissolves into a winey fruitiness at mid-palate. finish is strong and clean. Not the best stout but certainly among the better.

May 17, 2003 What you see is what you get with this beer. This could be a beer from an English pub. Strong, almost bitter flavor with a high alcohol content. Not my "cup of tea," but if you like dark beers you will like this one.

Aug 22, 2003 Pours out to the usual, dark color of the style with next to no head. Aroma is that of roasted malt and not much else. Taste is good, albeit it someone average. It is a bit on the thin side without a ton of oomph that many stouts give. This would be a good stout to give to someone jumping up from Guinness.

Mar 7, 2004 (draft) Clear mahogany body topped by beige head. Aroma is sweet coffee. Taste is bittersweet coffee, some herbal bitter. Medium body. Pleasant, "accessible" stout, with that unusual herbal twist.

Dec 2, 2002 Roasty aroma, creamy flavor. Nice
coffee aftertaste. Goes down smooth.
Not the best stout but at least average.
