From bottle. Aroma is rich and earthy. Appearance is deep brown with a thin tan head. Taste is woody, coffee is apparent but not overpowering. Smooth but not lingering. Overall, a very decent stout.

pours a dark brown with a small tan head. notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts. Not terribly complex, but tasty and distinct flavors. great beer.

12 oz. bottle. Colour... very dark brown with a thick dark head. Nose... what the...?!! Smells like stomach acid! Did I get a bad bottle?! Hope it tastes better than it smells! Palate... frothy, rather thin body, light coffee, roasty, some dark chocolate, slightly bitter. Thank God it tasted better then it smelled, though not as zippidy-do-dah as I heard!

Deep brown-black pour. Thick sticky head. Really nice looking beer. Dry cocoaish nose initially with lots of bitter chocolate and some roasted barley through the middle of the palate. Malty complexity that is quite pleasant. Nice balance of chocolatey sweetness and a bit of earthy bitterness. A nice simple stout, but it works.

Appears to be solid black, but light shining through reveals it to be a very dark ruby color. Totally tiny head, almost non-existant, which fades to nothing, quickly. Smells of malts and sweetbreads. Slight fruitiness. Tastes of ’medium-level’ malt content. It’s there, just not really big and bold. A nice ’safe’ amount, it seems. Burning coffee mixed with burnt chocolate. Nice in the mouth, though a bit on the watery side, for a stout. Very easy to drink, but I’d like to drink something that pleases me more. (But, thats’s just me.)

[Bottle] Pours black in color with about a fingers worth of tan head. Roasted aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste includes caramelized sugars, molasses and heavily roasted dark malts. Thick and somewhat creamy mouthfeel with low carbonation levels. A hoppy and dry finish. A pretty good, well made stout.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small brown head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel with light roast and dry tobacco notes. Taste is roasted malts, tobacco, caramel. Medium bodied. Smooth, Good beer.

Purchased a six pack at Lee’s Liquor in Las Vegas. Pour is black but not opaque. Creamy tan head. Blunt chocolate note with some faint hops. Slight roast. This is a well made stout and very good example of the style. Impressive.
