This brew poured a medium sized head of the darkest brown colored long lasting finely sized bubbles I think I have seen in 700 beers. Its body is an opaque black colored one with no visible carbonation. The receeding head eventually left a sheet of excellent lace down the side of my mug. The aroma is a heavenly dark roasted malty one with a bit of caramel thrown in for sweetness. The mouthfeel is very smooth with only a slight tingle to it from start to finish. The flavor is of mild coffee and sweet roasted dark malt with no bitterness worth speaking of and a tad of chocolate for good measure. This is an excellent brew! I caught myself thinking "Oh man this is nice!" and it goes down so easily.

Aug 20, 2008 Dark black pour with a tan bubbly head. Aroma is weak, with hints of cream, malt, and cocoa. Tastes of smokey roasted malt and mild coffee with a milky chocolate finish. Dessert and coffee all rolled up into one!

Aug 4, 2008 Black pour, small cream colored head. Very malty, creamy, sweet. I don’t get as much chocolate as others here however. Nothing to balance this out. Full bodied. Definetely a sweet stout. Take it or leave it.

Aug 2, 2008 Bottle. Rich black color with a strong, tan head. Muted nose of coffee and cocoa powder. Smoky, roasty flavors with a thick, but not too thick mouthfeel. Not a terribly memorable stout and could use more bitterness to even out the roasted flavors. Quite drinkable and solid.
