Jan 21, 2007 Updated: Feb 3, 2007Terribly concocted and not to friendly. I had a sampler at the brewpub and was dissipointed to the fact that the bartender thought this was good stuff. I would recommend that if you visit the Grumpy Troll that you don’t ask the bartenders what they think is the best brews on tap. It lacked the substantial feel of a stout and seemed rather thin. Rated in September of 2006 just to clarify that with the user by the name of grumpy troll.

Dec 9, 2006 Draught pint at the brewpub, mid-October 2006. Translucent, near-black body with a decent lasting frothy off-white head and nice thick lacing....milky chocolate at first in a nose that rapidly becomes roastier and sharper and hints of licorice which doesn’t materialize enough for real excitement....some nice roastiness throughout the body, fairly fruity (berries) and slightly tart, dark chocolate touches....body could be fuller but it’s really quite drinkable, definitely the best thing I had on this visit.

Oct 22, 2006 The body was very dark brown with a light ruby color when held ot light. The khaki head was fairly thin on top. The aroma had lots of chocolate with coffee and some sweet oatmeal. The taste was light with some mild coffee and a a little bitof roast. There was also some milk chocolate in the smooth and light body. A lame stout that they describe as dry on their menu.

Nov 9, 2005 Dark Brown Coloring with Whisp of a White Ring. Chocolate and Coffee Roasts on the Nose. Very Light Mouthfeel...Certainly Not Robust with the Chocolate and Coffee Flavor but Still a Good Drinking Stout.

Oct 22, 2005 Black color with slightly red edges. Aroma of burnt coffee. Very watery body. The coffee is still there with a slight chocolate wrap.

Aug 20, 2005 On tap at the Brewpub. Dark brown in color with a white head. Roasted and coffee-like aroma. Body is too light. Good lacing. Not an outstanding stout and slightly disappointing for this very good brewpub.
