Pours a dark brown to black color with a light tan head. Smell is moderately smoky, roasty and sweet. Taste is pretty mild, but with a roasty tartness and didn’t come across too much like a stout, though. BIt thin, and medium carbonation. Not great, or to style, but drinkable. sebletitje (2000), Tampa, Florida, USA

Aroma is roasted, cofee, light notes of dark fruits.
Taste was a little weak. Part of the beer remidned me of the Fuel Cafe that also had a weak finish.
Cofee roastiness floral taste, fruity and lightly hoppy, chocolat malts.
Decent dry stout. CaryTheDude (1114), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra at the brewery. Mouthfeel is the big compliment for this beer. Otherwise, it’s kinda lacking in all other aspects. Let down.
