Aug 14, 2009 Slight diacetyl on the nose, an upfront bitter flavor, but it seems to be a cover for a watery/weak backbone. Leaves a lingering, creamy mouthfeel

Jul 18, 2009 Lovely, dark and deep. Pours a thick, dark brown with a beige head. Nose is coffee and roasted malts. Taste is more malts and coffee. I also got that "burnt" taste - which is a good taste, by the way. A filling beer that I enjoyed very much.

Jul 12, 2009 From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with no expiration date or lot code anywhere to be seen. The pour is black like molasses with a small tan head that breaks apart but never really goes away. The aroma is roasted malts and coffee grinds with a touch of hops in the background. The mouthfeel is bold and creamy. A burnt sensation in the taste and a subtle serving of dry hops. Very smooth and quite nice.

Jun 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a very small light tan head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is roasted malt with caramel and chocolate. Decent spotty lacing along the glass. Thin mouthfeel with a roasted malt taste with chocolate and coffee flavors and a dry finish. Easy to drink, a good dry strout from Mendocino.
