Jul 12, 2005 Poured from a bottle a nice jet black color with a decent amount of foamy tan head. Aroma is creamy and floral, with subtle sweet malts underneath. Flavor is very sweet, almost fruity, slightly watery, with a dry semi hoppy finish. Overall, I found it somewhat enjoyable, but the sweetness is a little too much for it.

Jul 5, 2005 Pours a dark brown color. Smells of milk chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, sweet malt, mild hop flavor. Almost milky in character this beer is pretty creamingly smooth. A bit thin in the finish but pretty good.

Jun 30, 2005 I am not a man of many words... This is a very drinkable stout. Smooth, inviting, and dare I say refreshing? Only lays on the tngue and never hits the pallette! A stout for a summer day if I may say so. ...The Power of the RIFF compells me!

Jun 29, 2005 Deep brown/black pour with a little caramel head. Aroma was quite weak, with a little coffee and roasted malt present. Beer was light-bodied (almost watery), with some chocolate, coffee, and roastiness in the flavor. Slightly bitter watery coffee finish.

Aroma is light, but chocolate accented with mild dark roasted malts. Body is black and has a bubbly two finger thick mocha head that diminishes slowly. Fore is watery, but the flavor is better than I recall...roasty and chocolate accented, but it feels steeped like a tea due to the thinness of the body. Carbonation is a touch high and tongue tingling because of it. Serviceable.

I don’t get much coffee in the aroma. Just an alcoholish bitterness. Pours nice with a big creamy head and a black body. Flavor is decent. very mild espresso flavors, big bitterness. Too thin to really wow. Decent enough, but not stellar.

Jun 26, 2005 One of my stouts I’ll drink on a whim, especially if a single at trader joes! Very smooth drinking, chocolate aftertaste, doesn’t sit heavy on the stomach.

Jun 16, 2005 Bottle. Pours very dark and thick with very little head. Lots of roast/coffee in the nose. Taste is very smooth and rich. lots of roast/coffee going on with some bitter chocolate. finishes well. A pretty good stout if not an top tier stout.
