does not count  Jun 30, 2008 Very dark with great coffee and chocolate flavors. Robust with a good roasted flavor. Enough hops to keep it interesting. Great stout!

Jun 29, 2008 Bomber--Pours a solid black with a large tan head that leaves lacing throughout the drink. A strong roasted malt and coffee aroma dominateds. The taste has the roasted coffee taste with some bitter chocolate. I’m not a coffee, but if this is what espresso tastes like, I could change my mind. Asheville Wine 2.89

Jun 23, 2008 First time sampling this in quite a while, and it is better than I remember. A big black pour with a LOT of fizz in it, so much that it’s surprising, bordering on distracting for a stout. No matter. It’s a heavily roasted American stout, with a powerful hop presence to keep things from getting soupy. Nice espresso characteristics in the fore and a bit of bitter chocolate in the finish. While there’s not a terrific amount of complexity, it’s still mighty fine (and I look forward to the imperial version later this year - but dudes, c’mon, keep Tasgall in the mix).
