May 6, 2008 Bottle. Pour is like cola... fizzy and dark. Head sits around three or four fingers at first and hisses at me while I type. Aromas are thick of roasty malt, dark chocolate and charcoal/peat. First sip reveals a fairly nice blend of coffee and chocolate malts with a bit of a smokey aftertaste... all the while, it is a bit thin on the palate, especially at first. It could be that there is not the push from a higher ABV to warm things along or the malt presence is a little thin, but it seems just a tick away from perfection. Very nice, in spite of it all.

May 6, 2008 I really enjoyed this stout. Not a big aroma but a beautiful black color with a large fluffy brown head after a hard pour. Nice malty sweetness with a smoke taste in the background. Ends with a bit of hops.

May 2, 2008 Bottle from Beer Club: Poured a deep dark brown, almost black with not much head. The aroma was roasted malts, some caramel. The flavor was rich and smooth, espresso and dark chocolate. Overall, a really good Stout.

May 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 7, 2008Pours completely opaque with hardly any head. So many flavors and variations of coffee and dark chocolate but, surprisingly, not very bitter. Flavor lingers for a long time.

Apr 30, 2008 BOM. Pour dark black with little if no head. Smell is very potent. Flavor is very complex and lingers on the tough. I’m not a big fan of stouts. This is decent but not something I would drink or buy on a regular basis. However, I do appricate the fine craftsmenship that has gone into this brew.
