does not count sonsteng (5), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA May 13, 2008 Dark / heavy beer. Certainly wasn’t one for a large meal. Really enjoyed it though. I’m not usually one for the darker beers. Taste is rich and smooth. Most certainly on the retry list.
kopher (134), USA Jan 7, 2009 solid dark brown pour, reddish brown head, nice looking beer
sweet malty aroma, milky chocolate syrup, some caramel apple
very smooth body, but a bit thin
the taste is a much more roasted, with some coffee and darker chocolate, but overall fairly mild, and lacking a nice stout-y finish
Rciesla (1571), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Dec 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black body with a 1 finger white head. Sweet malty, lactose caramel with a light glucose body. Light milk chocolate with a light licorice finish. Good brew but nothing incredible. lithy (555), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Dec 23, 2008 Pitch black with a thin but lasting milk chocolate head. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate, earthy coffee beans. Tastes of bitter roasted malt, some coffee, chocolate and sweet smooth lactose milkiness. penguinjive7 (67), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours a pitch black with tan/dark brown substantial head. Minimum retention and lacing.
Smells of brown sugar and burn malts.
Right out of the fridge the tastes don’t really come through very well. As the brew warms, however, the sweet brown sugar and espresso flavors come through in a big way. Bitterness was more apparent when it was colder, but dies away as it warms.
I could sip this one down fairly quickly, but due to it’s fairly full body I could not have too many in a sitting. Definitely a desert brew, be it with desert or preferably as one. A fine brew overall. Not my favorite stout but it’s, my first of the style...will definitely have to try some more.
