May 30, 2004 Updated: Nov 11, 2006A roasty and oily f.s. with just a whisper of oak. Deep, rich and smooth despite the alcohol showing through. A great and powerful (read 8.0%) stout that’s always available at a fantastic price.

Aug 12, 2004 Updated: Aug 13, 2007I have been hearing good things about this beer for a little while now so I have been curious to try it. Sampled from a rather pretty 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick, black and oily with a large creamy dark brown head. I don’t think a stout can look much better than this one does in the glass. There is a nice roasted malt aroma with a decent hop presence and a hint of sour fruit. The flavor is malty and complex with a mix of chocolate, hops and almost spice. The hops, while noticeable are not overwhelming. The beer is surprisingly sweet and has a mild aftertaste. This is on the short list of nice stouts.

Apr 23, 2005 Pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma of currants, nuts, and toffee. Flavor had port notes, and is fruity with notes of grapes and prunes, but finishes nutty with some bitterness. Smooth feel, nice full body. More fruitiness than most other stouts I have had. A nice stout.

Nov 24, 2005 Pours black with a thick tan head.
Aroma is a sweet malt, grape, and coffee. The chocolate comes up front in the flavor also traces of malts, mocha, coffee, and raisen. Great beer, with a creamy palate.

Jul 4, 2006 Pours black with a large tan head. Great roasted malt aroma, with a big dose of molasses. More of the same in the flavor. Delectably heavy mouthfeel. All that a Stout should be.

Jun 24, 2006 An opaque pour with a huge mahogany dark tan head. Aromas of chocolates, cherries, toasted grain and a roasted sweetness. It has a sweet milk chocolate flavor, with a roasted finish. I’m also picking up some toasted cherries in the mix. It’s a very good stout... one of the best I’ve had. The mouthfeel is creamy and sublime, never heavy and subtly well-balanced. Great offering!

Dec 22, 2005 To me this is what a stout should go along the lines of, now i know i havnt tried a vast amount of them due to where i live. Aroma is a nice balance of coffee bitterness with some fruit and nut milk chocolateness. Taste is also great with the alcohol making a good show of warmingness, not in taste thankfully. Excellent beer that i would love to try again.
