Dec 15, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark hazy brown color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, brown sugar with a creamy note and a very light roast. Taste is roasted malts, coffee, brown sugar, chocolate, vanilla, cream, leafy bitter hops in the finish. Medium bodied. Smooth and creamy. Good beer... one of my favorites from Left Hand.

Dec 13, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours deep brown with a bit of a chestnut hue, capped with a modest sized tan head. Aroma is on the sweet side, with notes of cocoa powder, malted milk, and coffee in the background. Cocoa and roasted chocolate malt hit the palate first, and are joined by bakers chocolate towards the finish. Bittersweet chocolate clings to the palate for a length finish. Silky smooth mouthfeel makes this really easy to drink. Nice stout.

Dec 8, 2009 This is pretty drinkable. I’ve always had trouble with the darker beers with strong flavor. The flavor is smooth here though. A little carbonation, but not too bad. I taste a nice malty tone without being dominant.

Dec 7, 2009 I’m a big fan of this beer, it’s a great stout with nice coffee aromas and flavors. Just a little bit of sweetness.

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle. Poured a deep, dark brown with a thin beige head. Smells slightly acidic, nutty, and coffee like. Flavor is dessert like with a little bit of acidic roastiness, but mostly lots of dark, toasted coffee (a bit like Starbucks) and a bit of vanilla. Left a fair amount of lacing on my glass. Has a rich, creamy mouth feel. One of the better stouts I’ve had.

Dec 3, 2009 When I took my first slug of this dark brown hued beverage, my first thought was the coffee shop, my second thought was smooth, my final thought was thank god for winter stouts.

Dec 1, 2009 On tap at the Yard House, Phoenix location. Dark brown pour, thin brown cap. Rich sweet chocolate aroma. Again, chocolate on the palate, but there is a cola-like quality to the sweetness that I don’t care for. It seems to be missing the lactic acidity in the finish as well. Not bad, but not one I’d hurry back to.
