Mar 12, 2004 Updated: Mar 30, 2004Pure black body with a light bubbly brown head. Drippy lacing. Grainy chocolate aroma and roasted notes. Pretty typical dry stout flavors, although there is a a fruity ester component.

Mar 5, 2004 Light brown head w/ a dark brown opaque body. Roasty and chocolate in the initial nose with some nuttiness as it warms. Some hints of woody aromas and light fruitiness masked by the roastiness. Roasty and well balanced w/ some sourness from dark grains. Overall dry beer as it should be, finishes dry and roasty, low fruitiness. Mouthfeel is dry, borderline astringent, low carbonation, and medium bodied. Not a bad stout, not great, but better than some that I've had. Still not as good IMHO as some of the irish classics.

Mar 3, 2004 Thin, chocolate brown head hangs on well into the brew, Just a hint of dark copper brown at edges. nose is chocolatey and roastey, hinting at espresso, spicy hops and somewhat creamy. front is sweet, chocolatey and smooth, leading into a dry, well roasted lingering finish. dark chocolate and coffee notes dabble throughout. not too bad, leaves a bit empty, dry and thin, but a pretty solid stout. Nice warming effect and a sticky, chocolatey/roastey residual effect. Crosses the bridge between porter and stout. reminds me of a Black Butte Porter from Deschutes

Mar 1, 2004 Very dark, essentially opaque showing a hint of red-brown. Dark creamy head. Rich aroma, featuring chocolate and roasted notes. Some coffee. Rich velvety texture, full caramel-chocolate, soft roasted malt, acrid finish. Well balanced malt creation. An earthy Britishy hop flavor develops in the finish.

Mar 1, 2004 Deep smoky aroma and flavor. Dark chocolate, old coffee grounds, slightly sweet, with a bitter aftertaste. Not bad, but I was expecting better.

Feb 25, 2004 Isn't this made by Mactarnahans? Dark black in color with a small tan head. Nice balance or roasted malt and coffee. Nice bitter finish. This does everything a stout should do but nothing more.

Feb 14, 2004 Updated: Mar 27, 2004Looks like coffee. Tastes like ashtray and ass, with some budweiser in the finish. A horrible, horrible stout. Stay far away.
