Aug 4, 2008 Draught at the brewpub
Black color, creamy head. Aroma of wet cardboard. Smooth mouthfeel, the flavor of roasted malt is mild, rounded by the nitro. In the end there is also light liquorice. Drinkable.

Sep 27, 2007 Off of N2 at Fest-Of-Ale. Creamy off white head. Rich cold coffee nose. Despite the cold temp it was served at the flavors really come through. Actually reminds me of Guiness. OMG its a Guiness clone! Dark roasted malt notes with a hint of dark fruit. Would be much better on cask I think

May 18, 2007 Draft 6 oz at the brewpub; Again another Jasper head that stood up forever ... almost 20 minutes ... tan and firm. Midnight black with a red tinge. Nice java aroma, followed up with a nice ashy, smoky, bitter coffee-tinged brew. Maybe a bit on the thin side, not quite hitting the milky stride it deserves, but quite quaffable. (#2891, 5/15/2007)

Aug 31, 2006 On tap at Jasper Brewing Company. Poured a very deep iced tea brown with an extremely well-retained cap of caramel/beige head (20+ min). Nose was quite faint... with dark chocolate, coffee, and hazlenut in there. Flavor was of dark chocolate and lighter coffee.. moderate roast. The coffee provided more bitterness than flavor... also some herbal bitterness in there. Light-bodied yet creamy on the palate... moderate bitterness worked well... nice dry finish. Solid.

Jul 16, 2005 Wow. Stouts aren’t my favorite beer, but this beer is!
I got way too small a pull in retrospect, it came with an extremly fine and creamy head that gave a smooth mustache. The taste was well balanced with decent malts and a good background coffee taste. My only criticism wasin how long the flavor lingered (actually didn’t linger), but it was a truly exceptional beer. Definately worth a trip to Jasper.
