Jan 11, 2006 Thanks Old Growth! Pours opaque black with a great tan head. Not much in the nose; hints of malt. Flavor is all sweet and malt, not much complexity or hops, but plesant. This would be a great everyday beer. While it’s not amazing like a Stone IS, it’s also not so overwhelming that you need a few days to recover....

Jan 10, 2006 Pours out a dark black with a decent sized brown head. Aroma is mosty roasty. Taste is most chocolate with some roasted malts and some hops here and there. Not very well balanced and a bit light bodied for this style of beer.

Jan 9, 2006 (22oz bottle) Brown-black body with medium brown head, nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, chocolate, some apple(!), light vinous. Minimal flavor up front before a burst of flavors mid-tongue through to the swallow. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, some vinous, light apple, roast. Smooth medium-full body. Ok, but the sweetness and that apple quality detract.

Jan 8, 2006 Bottle: Nearly black, thin tannish head, fairly nice lacing. Very sweet nose, chocolate and cocoa, even a bit of appleskin. Very minor hop presense. Sweet roasted malt flavor, did I mention sweet. It seems almost sugary sweet. Fairly smooth, but not big. Lingering cocoa on the finish. This is probably one of the sweetest stouts I think I have had. Not bad, but not robust as I thought it would be. Thanks Dan for the bottle!

Jan 8, 2006 Updated: Jan 11, 2006Bottle: Courtesy of argo0 via trade. Aroma of roasted nuts and roasted coffee. Pours a dark brown with no transparency and a small tan head. Sugary sweet chocolate with a roasted coffee finish. Moderate cocoa flavors in the background. Tastes too sugary sweet. Almost as if they took a stout and added some sugar and cocoa powder.
