May 21, 2007 Dark pour with a smaller tan head. Roasty aroma with lots of coffee detectable. Roasted, very dry flavor that starts out nice, but quickly wore on my. OK. but a letdown like most Middle Ages beers.

Apr 18, 2007 Creamy brown head over a dark brown, opaque body. The hops appeared first and remained, and remained, to the point where all other flavors were overwhelmed. I was left dissapointed and with a bitter aftertaste.

Mar 18, 2007 On cask at Pizza Plant in Williamsville. I am usually a big fan of stouts and porters but this one was just too one dimensional. The beer was pitch black with a thin dark tan head that quickly dissipated. The aroma had a strong burnt smell to it which carried over into the beers chard coffee flavor. The beer was very smooth and thick, but it was a little too syrupy. Not a terrible beer but a little too plain for me. Maybe it was because it was hand pumped. I will try it again to see if there is any difference.

Jan 7, 2007 Hand pump at The Farmhouse in Emmaus, Pa. Smoky aroma. Thin palate with some roastiness. Didn’t really leave an impression. I will likely be surprised at some point in the future when I read this review and will have to ask myself "Did I really drink one of these?"

Aug 16, 2006 Draft at Burp Castle poured into a pint glass. Color is opaque black with a tan head. Aroma is present - mildly roasty with that coffe bitterness. Some slight hop presence as well. A pretty light tasting stout. Mainly all I get is a roasty coffee aftertaste, one demonsional.

May 27, 2006 (cask @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Very dark black with a thick tan head. Aroma is loaded with roasty and toasty malts mixed with a nice coffee smell. Flavor begins with a nice and bitter burnt malt taste which gives way to a smooth and roasty malt middle and a bitter coffee finish. Very smooth and silky.

Mar 12, 2006 Pours dark brown with thin head. Chocolate and coffee malts come through very nicely. Solid offering by a fine brewery.
