BeerLimey (1875), California, USA Jul 3, 2002 Initial yeasty aroma escapes the bottle before turning chocolaty. pasty oatmeal aroma noticeable as is high alchol content. Fairly high alcohol bite, blends well against silky oatmeal palate. Nice roasted chocolate at the end grips well into the aftertaste. BeaverBrown (245), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 30, 2003 Black color with a medium tan head. Smells of chocolate and malt. Taste roasted malt and coffee. Smooth flat palate. 0o9i (272), Reno, Nevada, USA Mar 20, 2005 Tap@lamppost pizza. Black; opaque with a tan, creamy head of monstorous proportion(took a few minutes to pour); no lace until the bottom 1/3 of the glass, likely due to temperature. Fullish body, slightly dry; foamy, fizzy carbonation and a bit "liquidy." Yeast; molasses, chocolate, toasted grain and caramel on the aroma. Flavor was yeasty throuout; sour like rising dough; slight alconol flavor in finish; toasted chocolate(milk + dark); nutty like hazelnuts; touch of caramel; toasted grains; lightly bitter finish, sour. Nice stout and noticably the best of the 3 beers I had tonight. Body is a bit off; the cabonation and body just aren’t blending well. badlizard (1610), San Diego, California, USA Jun 28, 2007 On tap at Mainstreet. Black with creamy light tan head. Chocolate roasty aroma. Thick creamy palate. Chocolate and coffee syrup taste. Vac (2287), San Diego, California, USA Sep 25, 2004 This stout pours with a black body topped by little head with some lacing. The aroma and flavor are sweet, very roasty, malty and heavy with coffee and a little chocolate. Full bodied, smooth and a little dry.
