Nov 10, 2009 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.

Nov 10, 2009 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.)

Nov 8, 2009 [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.

Nov 3, 2009 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.

Flavor: Hershey’s dark chocolate and Whoppers chocolate malted balls. Finish- light espresso. Overall, a good beer. My wife and I are visiting Eureka next weekend for our anniversary, and we will visit the brewpub.

Oct 23, 2009 Updated: Oct 30, 2009Very black, admits no light. Thin tan head, decent lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate and cafe au lait. Flavor begins with cocoa and progresses to roasted coffee. Nice enough, but a bit thin and could be more complex.
