Pours black with a classic dark roasted coffee, mollasses, chocolate aroma sharpened by a salty touch of beef jerky. Vanilla, milky,citrusy, very bright and tropical for stout. Finish is tainted with a plasticky candyish taste. Otherwise, and overall, nice.

Pours black like old motor oil with a thick tan head. Liquorish, coffee, chocolate in the aroma. First taste isn’t overwhelmingly special but as the beer warms the coffee and chocolate flavors really come out. The higher alcohol is masked well by the deep roasted malt flavor. By the end, the coffee really dominates. Hot damn, this is a good beer.

Large creamy brown head... dark brown body. Excellent lacing. Nice dry chocolatey aroma with underlying complexities of vanilla. Great subtle yet overwhelming taste of dark chocolate, espresso, and whisky casks. It almost seems a bit too sweet after a while though.

Pours just about black with a nice tan head that diminishes quickly. The nose is roasted malt, coffee, a bit of chocolate and hint of molasses. The flavor is equally enjoyable, with roasted malt and coffe standing out, with coffee and chocolate in the mid to finish. Clean and dry in the finish, with very little bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and a bit creamy.

Bottle. Opaque black, nice tan head. Hearty roasted coffee aroma that nicely follows through into the flavor - this is a good representation of the style. Some cherry flavor in the finish. Well-balanced, good followthrough, nicely done.

received as a "beer of the month" gift from my smokin’ cool wife! color is deep brown, head is thick creamy and light brown. aroma has loads of malt and some chocolatiness and has notes of what I think might be raisins. flavor has some chocolate, mild roastiness and a bit of tongue-numbing alcohol. mouthfeel is a bit thin to me...but not bad.

Had this beer on 4/11/2001. Aroma is slightly metallic with light roasted back tones. Color is a solid black with light carbonation and head. Taste is roasted, toasted and dry. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a sharp feel. Finish is dry with a mild bitterness that comes from nicely roasted malts and ends clean. It’s not bad but also it’s not all that good.

11.2oz bottle. Solid stout but i wasn’t wowed by it nor was i expecting to be. Light brown head. Standard malty-chocolate aroma and sweetishflavor. Couldn’t really notice any hop sensation. Mildly carbonatted. The 8% abv was well hidden and overall it went down smoothly.
