Aroma is full of roastey and burnt malts. Coffee is big as well and a slight chocolate sweetness. Black with a diminishing two finger thick mocha head. Fore is thin and watery, but some coffee and roasted malt pops out but it, naturally, comes off as watery coffee. Finish is a bit tinny as well, but it has a nice bitterness that lingers and while it needs to be a lot thicker it has the base flavor down...it just needs a lot more concentration of that flavor.

Feb 22, 2006 (02.18.06) Sampled at FebFest ’06, Libertyville, IL. Pours brown-black with tiny off-white head and no discernable carbonation. Roasted malt aroma. Medium bodied stout that starts dry with tiny malt sweetness and dried fruit (prune?)/expresso/roasted malt flavors. Finishes dry with roasted malt flavor and bitterness fade. Flavorful and smooth. A very good dry stout.

Nov 10, 2005 An enjoyable black bodied knock-off of traditional Irish Stouts. I make it a point of visiting Lakefront on Spring Saturdays to get it fresh out of the tap.

Oct 24, 2005 Wow, I might be going "against the grain" on this as I really enjoyed it. Black bodied and intimidating with a thin, oily, tan film sloshing around on top. Well-roasted aroma, coffee-bitter that carries over largely into the flavor. Full-bodied & oily, finishing dry. A fine stout.

Aug 21, 2005 Black liquid with a thin coffee head. Liquid smoke and strong coffee aroma. Adequate body. Porter-like flavour. Hint of sourness and a definite wine-like presence. Some charcoal notes and a quick finish.

Aug 21, 2005 roasted coffee aroma, smokiness. Pours an opaque black, thin off-tan head. Strong bitterness up front. Thin body for a stout. Coffee/astringence finish. Unfocused...misses the mark.
