Dec 14, 2002 A superior stout. Slightly olivine aroma, with good stout character. Flavor was nicely roasty, bitter, balanced and the palate was stellar. Fine, fine stout.

Nov 15, 2005 Pours deep black with a tiny head. Worried this may have been slightly infected. Aroma is coffee, a little dark fruit. Flavor is a touch roasty but not very much so, nothing special really.

Jan 14, 2004 Updated: Feb 15, 2004This is the darkest beer I have ever seen, the body is absolutely black! The head is tall with a very nice looking dark tan color. Absolutely beautiful!!
Aroma is coffee, dark chocolate and tar. Flavor is bitter of dark chocolate and black coffee. Quite hoppy aftertaste. A dry stout and a little too harsh for my liking.

Mar 9, 2009 Near black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of raisins, dark chocolate, rum and a slight herbal edge. Flavour of coffee, chocolate and dark fruit with a bitter roasty finish. Easy drinking for the ABV with a creamy mouth feel.

Dec 9, 2004 Bottle pours pitch black, only a sliver of light gets through, large tannish frothy head, with fantastic lacing. Dark chocolate aroma, slightly dry and chalky, with hints of coffee and heavily roasted malts. Smells tasty! Roasted malt mikly goodness, with a smidgen of cocoa and coffee beans. Good body, but somewhat medium mouthfeel. Roasty finish, lingering malts, very subtle coffee bean and cocoa flavor. Very minor apple skin on the aftertaste. Tasty!

Nov 5, 2006 [064-20061014] 330mL (Sinha from LCBO). Raspberry medicine aroma, medium malted with woody fruit and light alcohol. Black body with a large cream long-lasting browny-pink head. Taste is creamy and big, mostly of very burnt grainy toast but with hints of malted coffee and chocolate. Big body feel, creamily coating everything inside the mouth. OVerall good flavour but it doesn’t seem to jibe with the aroma (too burnt).

Jul 8, 2005 Bottle. Black pour, small bubbly tan head. Great aroma - lots of sweetness and roasted notes. Thin to medium mouthfeel, yet does come off as a little syrupy - velvet-smooth down the throat though. Flavours of bittersweet chocolate (almost too sweet) and more roasted flavours. Warming, but not too strong. Maybe not quite as full of flavour as the aroma suggests, but I’m being picky (I love my stouts). Dessert like quality makes it not a session brew (and the hidden 8%) but with this now available regularly at the LCBO, it will be a go to after dinner beer for sure.
