Aug 15, 2009 Dark black pour witha camel colored head. Smells like roasted chocolate malt.
Lots of chocolate flavor and slightly sweet and nutty notes too. Hides the 10% ABV really well.

Aug 14, 2009 Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. This promised much but somwhow fell a little short of the podium. Reddish brown tinged black pour with a fading tan head. Aroma was a knockout on first sniff. Lovely chocolate hit mixed with oodles of dark fruit. All looking good, yet the flavour lets it down sadly...somewhat booze laden and a wee bit sweet for my taste. Chocolate heavy and not quite the taste sensation I was hoping for. Drinkable, but you’d darn well hope so for a deep seas worth.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle, bottled 09/19/07. Aroma of coffee, burnt peanut butter, fruit caramel chocolates, butterscotch. Aroma quite roasted with a strong bitterness seemingly from the roasted malt, some sherry notes. Tasty stuff.

Aug 6, 2009 [Tap] Pours a opaque black color without any head. Aroma of heavy roasted malts, some light cocoa and alcohol. The taste, however, did not agree with me at all. Coffee and toffee are there in the flavor, but the alcoholic overtones really muddle whatever else is going on in there. Thin consistency, almost like it was watered down with liquor. Perhaps a bad tap or a really young keg, but I didn’t see much I liked here.

Aug 4, 2009 On Tap at Shallo’s. Pours relatively black with slight transparency near bottom and appealing tan 1/2 inch head. Nose is sweet malt, roastiness, slight milk chocolate. Taste is smoooth roasted nut, chocolate, excellent malt character to balance the slight hop and bitter roasty stout component. Dark, dried fruits of plum, fig and raisin become more pronounced as it warms...TASTY! Very well done, easy drinker.

Aug 4, 2009 Pretty decent stout. Similar to the oak-aged, flavors not as complex. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma with similar flavor.

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle, September 07. Pours dark brown with a small white head.. Aroma of raisin, sweet roasted malt. Flavor is similar, definite raisin, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, parmesean cheese. Ok, but I don’t like the age on this. Decent, but the oak aged is better.
