22oz bottle. Black with a creamy mocha tan head. Really roasty aroma with a hint of smoke and dusted dark chocolate truffles. The flavor is pretty dry, with a roast-bitter finish, but low astringency and burnt character. Definitely has a nice smooth mouthfeel going on, but honestly feels pretty thin for its strength. Not bad, but uneventful.

Oct 12, 2008 Black pour with thin tan head. Roasted malt aroma with some sweetness and hops. More roasted malt with chocolate, slightly bready flavor with some nice hops on the finish. Good creamy mouthfeel.

Sep 23, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours pitch dark with a lovely creamy and chocolate brown head slowly diminishing in this lovely melting way into the beer beneath. Chocolate, roasted malt, mild vanilla and light hops fruity aroma. Flavour has all of this in a nice creamy blend with a fruity flavour that lends itself towards a blackberry note. Medium sweet and fruity hops finish swept in a nice creamy chocolate malty and slight tarish roasted malt finish. Lovely and highly drinkable!

Sep 17, 2008 On tap. Flavors and aroma of bitter chocolate and an interesting smokey characteristic. Pretty malty. No sweetness to speak of of. Pours a jet black. Good, not great stout.

Aug 31, 2008 From a 22 0z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of dark chocolate and coffee. Earthy hop aroma. Opaque black with a thick light brown head. Citrusy hop flavors followed by bready malt and then chocolate and roast. Not overly bitter. Balanced nicely with the hops and malt. Dry, no residual sweetness, but thick and chewy. Very nice.
