Sep 28, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Black with ring head. Aroma of sour chocolate milk. Smooth chocolate flavor with fruity tartness in finish. Just doesn’t seem very fresh, unfortunately. Medium-full body and medium-low carbo. Very good even if not in the best condition.

Sep 21, 2007 3 Finger brown head quickly disapating. First one I had was warmer than what I normally sample at. Roasted chocolate and oatmeal aroma. Opaque black, one of the most ever opaque. Thin/light mouthfeel. Some spotty lacing. Leaves a slick palate. Alcohol warming effect. Slight sting on conditioning, not bloating though. Toasty porter at the end and aftertaste. Drinkability is high altogether. Perfect balance between hop/malt/chocolate/oatmeal. Had 2 cooler ones later on with my lovely friend. then finished the final 3 later at home... Definitely NOT one-dimentional. A little astringent.

Sep 20, 2007 Very nice aroma blend of coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor starts a little sweet but quickly balances out with an appropriate amount of bitterness and finishes dry with a slight metallic or saltiness in the end. Good stout, but many are better in my opinion. Overall, it’s missing something in the middle to end. Great aroma.

Sep 19, 2007 Bottle. Jet black with tan head. Aromas of dark molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, and some vague sour fruit notes. Flavor is a smooth combination of all of these, sweet and tangy at the same time, with a creamy palate and bitter chocolate finish. Right tasty stuff, a pleasant surprise!

Sep 17, 2007 pours black with a one finger solid brown head. aroma is roasted malt, oats, bitter dark chocolate and a touch of hops. has a medium to full body with good lacing and a bit of carbonation enough for a stout. flavor is the same as aroma with a little coffee and is a bit stronger. has a smooth creamy mouth-feel but just a tad thin. not bad a very session-able stout.

Sep 15, 2007 From bottle : Pours a very dark brown with thin offwhite head that lingers. Aroma of hops, and a little coffee smell. Sweet beginning, with some alcohol coming though. Ends with some bitterness. Pretty thin for a stout, smooth feel in the mouth. Its ok.
