Feb 25, 2008 Bottle from Cost Plus in Davis. This brew was smooth and mildly carbinated. The malts and hops mixed well for an unnoticable blend of flavor. Typical tastes for a stout: chocolate, coffee, and roasted nuts. Very good beer.

Feb 23, 2008 from sample pack from Binny’s in Wheeling, IL. Pours black with a nice little head, which dissipates quickly. Hold it up to the light and it’s completely opaque. Aroma is good roasted malts, maybe chocolate. Taste is slightly burnt with a little dark chocolate. Palate is thin, which is the only main detractor for this beer. Worth a try.

Feb 22, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear dark brown color with a 1/2 finger thick light tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and faint chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt and light chocolate. Not as dry or bitter as I expected. Light to medium body. A pretty good beer.

Feb 13, 2008 Opaque near black color with a brown head. Nice stout smell of roasted malts, nutty. Med bodied with a smooth palate. Decent taste of blackened malts with a hint of pit fruit sweetness. Not bad. 111106

Feb 13, 2008 Aroma is beyond roasted and smells charred or BURNT almost. Pours black as oil though which is cool. However it is very thin for a Stout. Looks like youre drinking a Cola really. Taste is equally burnt. Not liking it. You know there are certain things that really make a stout and texture is one of them.

Feb 13, 2008 Pours opaque, but with little tan head to show for it. Nose is very muted but gives just the slightest hint of roasted molasses malts. Flavor is heavily roasted and very, very smoked. Calms down as it warms and gives a nice, robust, smoky profile. Feel is nice. Well bodied liquid and the carbonation is on a good level too. Smooth. Overall this was a nice surprise. Much more developed than I figured it would be and very much worth trying.

Feb 11, 2008 Pours black with almost no head. Has an aroma of chocolate malt. An initial but brief sweet chocolate flavor is finished by a nice roasted bitter finish reminiscent of a stronger dry stout. Very Good.

Feb 10, 2008 Oct. 2006 - I have to agree with eaglefan538 that I wouldn’t have pegged this as a dry stout. Pour was dark with nice foamy head and nice lacing. The aroma and flavor was a nice blend of chocolate, roast and coffee. This beer was too chocolatey sweet to be a dry stout, and also had some pine-like hoppiness. I liked it, though. Nice rich creamy mouthfeel. Nice stout.
