Jun 12, 2006 Pours a beautiful black with a huge, lasting, creamy brown head. Certainly the best aspect of the beer. The aroma is metallic and slightly sour and rather unpleasant. In the mouth it is quite similar though is saved by slight roastiness as it warms. Way too lactic and metallic. I’m guessing there is a bit too much in the way of oats as their qualities seem out of control. I’m not sure if I had a bad bottle or what but this was quite crappy.

Jun 11, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry -- courtesy of Thaichile. Pours a hazy dark brown with ruby hues and a large lasting fluffy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, roasted coffee and some lactic notes. Flavour’s slightly roasty with some mild coffee and milk chocolate. Light bodied. It didn’t blow me away or anything but it was somewhat unique and I enjoyed it.

Jun 6, 2006 Updated: Jun 8, 2006Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, his bottle. Poured deep ruby-brown, huge tan head. Lactic, almost metallic roast nuttiness, some dark fruit an light hops. Taste is the same, more bitter finish. Mouthfeel is bitter, somewhat flat - not bad, not great.

Jun 2, 2006 Another nice stout to add to the collection. This one poured a very dark brown-black with a minor head and very little lacing. Aroma was coffee and chocolate with a burnt smell that you get after a campfire (charred wood). Flavor was somewhat sweet and chocolate/coffee-like, and finished with slight hoppy bitterness. Worth having again.

May 25, 2006 At the VA Beer Festival, Norfolk, VA. Black with a tan head. Light nose. Roasty malts and touches of coffee, chocolate and nuts. Sweet, with a creamy mouthfeel. Pretty good - will keep an eye out for more.
