Oct 17, 2006 Bottle from Scott (initially got one from Sean, but hadnt got around to drinking it, so thanks both of you guys!). Pours out a dark brown almost black color with a tan head. Smell is mostly roasted malts, and some hints of caramel and sugars. Taste is smooth and sweet, some bitterness still lingering. A little coffee, a little chocolate, not too shabby. I hear that some of this is still around, so you should get some if you get the chance, its pretty good stuff, and its still good.

Oct 12, 2006 Bottle. Aroma was chocolate malts a touch of caramel. Poured a deep dark brown. Flavor was nice and filling chocolate malts with just enough cascades to add just the right bite. Palate was full and thick. Overall this was very enjoyable, makes me kick myself for walking past this several times.

Aug 31, 2006 From bottle thanks to Immy. Black pour with coffee head and bubbly lacing. Nose is roasted chocolate and nutty. Flavor is baking chocolate, bitter with a smooth palate. Only the tiniest bit thin with just barely perceptible spices throughout.

Jun 6, 2006 12 oz bottle. Black with a ring of a tan head. Nose is really strong - bitter chocolate, molasses, earthy, a bit vinous. Body is mildly creamy, but a touch thin. Flavors of chocolate truffles, nutty malt, a touch of sweet spiciness. Finish is bitter cocoa, slightly spicy. Really good!

May 20, 2006 A nice winter beer, can’t drink too many, they are very full/thick/heavy. It is a very smooth stout, with mollasses and chocolate malts/flavor. I like this beer, but usually only drink one before I need to move on to something else. Overall, one of mendocino’s better beers, great to mix for a black and tan.
