Apr 24, 2005 Bottle acquired in trade with muzzlehatch (thanks!). Poured a dark black color with a small brown head. Aromas and tastes of chocolate, smoke (heavier in the taste), roasted malts, and coffee.

Mar 29, 2005 Pitch Black, a tan creamy film slowly becomes a big ring. Rather sweet aroma full of cream and coffee, lightly coniferous and chocolatey. Sweet palate, with plenty of alcohol, mellow anise notes and a profound woodiness. Low carbonation, creamy smooth texture. Less bitter than most, that’s for sure. It still has plenty of roastiness, but its lactic aspects and overall sweetness make me differ with most other raters. I certainly prefer the porter by a wide margin.

Aug 18, 2003 Pours a beautiful, dense obsidion with a thick lacing light brown head. Viscosity of motor oil. Thickest of any stout I've had that wasn't imperial. Aroma is sweet with some chocolate coffee undertones. Body is dry and fresh tasting with plenty of roasted and chocolate malts and a hint of oak. Very full bodied and well balanced. A wonderful dry stout. Thanks to Casey for recommending this gem.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle... Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08...Pours pitch black and stays that way with a fat-bubbled, beige head that doesn’t last. Big-time toasted nut aroma... that’s what really stands out to me. Medium to full-bodied with soft carbonation. Coffee grounds, unsweetened cocoa and a touch of tangy cardboard oxidation. Bone-dry finish. Bottle courtesy of daknole!

Jul 7, 2002 Updated: May 25, 2009A thin veil of foam tops the blackness with dark brown edges...This very distinctive Stout breathes blackberries into sustained roasted malts and their bitterness, while molasses establish a wealthy dextrin realm...The almost chewy body on this one is still quite drinkable; the grain bill here is reminiscent of their Imperial Stout’s...

Sep 19, 2004 Black opaque liquid with a smaller dense dark tan head. Coffee and Kahlua aromas abound. A pour drinkable stout. Light and smooth on the palate. Rick dark roasted malt flavors with a touch sweetness to keep it from being overpowering. Light hops bitterness comes mid to late in the quaff, along with a touch of malt acid. Long linger of roasted malts. Very enjoyable after a horrific Packer Sunday. Many thanks to CaptainCougar.
