Feb 21, 2009 12 oz bottle - poured into a proper pint glass. This stout pours black with a nice 2 finger head. The head is frothy, not foamy. Very nice. The Aroma is of roasted chocolate, but with smokey overtones. Flavor is bold smokey malts. Palate has a silky smooth mouth feel, with very little carbonation. This is an exquisitely crafter stout, and is suitable as a quaff with a steak dinner, or as a dessert beer after a nice meal. Well done by the boys in Boston.

Feb 20, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured an opaque black color with a one finger brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, bitter chocolate and cream. The flavor was roasted malt with chocolate and a slightly bitter finish. I was really impressed with this one.

Feb 14, 2009 Pours completely black with a little lacing on top. Aroma is blandly of tar and leather, stone. Flavor is also very leathery and soily. Tastes like it has a much higher alcohol than the purported 4.9%. I don’t think that I’ll be having this again as it doesn’t really appeal to me. I mean, if I’m going to go big, I’m going to go imperial stout. Why wouldn’t I? Overall, fair to good.

Feb 9, 2009 Bottle thanks to mcox90. Pours a completely dark color, no light shows through at all. A thick light brown head, full and fluffy. The aroma is great; sweet roasted malts, burnt chocolates, milky notes, some cocoa also. The flavor is also great; initially huge roasted malts akin to Guinness, a big chocolate full flavors envelopes your palate in the middle which then leads to a huge earthy finish. The full earthy flavor is milky and mineral-filled. Excellent. A perfect sweet stout. Leaves a sweet flavor on your lips. The only lackluster quality is the medium to low mouthfeel .

Feb 1, 2009 I used to love dragon stout (to many other’s chagrin), but then I discovered this beer- pretty much like a more subtle, classy, and natural-tasting version of the Jamaican Dragon Stout. Malt flavors explode with strong suggestions of caramelized sugar, like an over the top Scotch Ale. Pitch black with dark brown head that quickly dissipated. I would buy more of this.

Jan 30, 2009 Mildly roasty, very sweet. Smooth body, palate is nice, but not overly thick. Flavor is pretty mono-dimensional though, not a whole lot going on. Defintely taste the lactose added in. Biggest problem is the sugar tends to dry out your mouth.
