Jul 4, 2006 Tap. Molasses malt aroma. Dark black-brown color with small head. Smooth chocolate-coffee malt flavor - easy drinking with next to no bitterness. A fairly light stout but one I could drink all day - doesn’t sit heavy on you like some stouts.

Oct 24, 2005 Semi-Opaque Dark Brown, with a tan head. Smokey, with notes of tobacco. Nice malty, fresh bread flavor, with hints of coffee and a dryish finish. Uncomplicated and perhaps a bit too understated. Sampled at the 2005 Asheville Brewer’s Jam.

Dec 29, 2005 On tap at the brewery. Dark, dark brown. Medium to medium light bodied. Very roasty, very dry, very creosotic, mildly acidic. Light creosote aroma. Coffee finish. Porterish, schwarzish. I was about to buy a growler of this, untasted, to haul back to my beer buddies, but I’m glad I didn’t. This beer needs work.

Jul 24, 2009 tap @ Heinzelmannchen
pours black with off white head.
aroma and taste, add a good dose of fruits, mostly apples/pears with some roasted malts.
Not too sure about the apple flavor to be the intended direction of this stout, just did not seem to fit the style.
With that being said, the beer remained drinkable and did not show signs of oxidation.

Dec 23, 2006 Draught. Pours on the black side of mahogany with a very fast-fading light beige head. The aroma is caramel, charcoal, some sticky wood notes, and cold coffee. The flavor has a shocking quantity of hops that I would usually associate with a German lager. There are some sweet toffee notes and a bit of diacetyl. The finish is ashy. I’m not really impressed.
