Aug 22, 2008 12 oz bottle shared by bvc at the Stumbling Monk, Seattle Washington. Pour is pitch black with a thinnish tan head. Nose of tobacco, sweet vanilla and coffee roast. Taste is the nose almost exactly. Palate is a little thin and watery. Some milkiness is present in the finish. Overall a tasty Stout.

Aug 19, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Darkly poured in the brownish to black realm with a nicely retentive tanned head. Aroma of slightly sweet malt with coffee and hints of milky cocoa intertwined. Flavor brings a lot of the aroma out starting with very extreme sweet malts that get blasted by a well done burnt coffee and hop profile. Dark chocolate is still lingering and I had my last sip about 10 minutes ago. Yum!

Apr 3, 2008 12oz bottle. Black with big fluffy brown head. Lots of roast in the aroma and taste. Very smooth. Light, with bitter chocolate. Not too sweet. Very sessionable.

Feb 26, 2008 A most pleasant stout. Black with attractive off white head. Roasted barley, keeps me away from the coffee, and secondary chocolate. Very smooth and drinkable and refreshing. Lots of bitter hoppy notes that make life interesting. Not for everyone, a medium plus mouthfeel, and a worthwhile stout to be had, different and sans le cafe.

Dec 23, 2006 Pours a dark brown, with a small tan head. Aromas of faint chocolate with some roasted malts. Flavor isn’t as big as I like, a little chocolate/coffee and some mild hops.
