I must say, this is a sexxxy looking beer. I dont usually like black gals, but the darkness of this beer, all the way to the deep dark brown head, made me feel all tingly inside. Those was full of milk chocolate, salted nuts, coffee, and roasted malt. Flavors are on the dry side...powdered cocoa, espresso, with american hop bite in the finish. Finishes without much lingering...so, its not much a lingerer..lingererer. This is too dry for me...i need sweetness to allow the chocolate malts to linger..this is too quick, too dry, to crisp in the finish for me to get all mushy about it.

Dec 17, 2009 Pours espresso black with a thin tan halo of head.
Nose is heavy on coffee, not too acidic on the nose, fairly roasty.
Taste is thinner than the beer geek brunch, less chewy, less obvious oat character, slight hop bitterness, slight acidic coffee bitterness, flavors arent as rich as expected, but none over shadow the others. nice coffee, roasted malt, oat, and floral hop flavors all play quite well together.

Dec 16, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt notes of dark bread, dark chocolate and strong coffee, moderate resin for the hops, light leather for the yeast, with background notes of raisin, charcoal, toffee and alcohol. Head is average size, creamy/frothy, light brown with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is black. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic, moderately bitter and a touch salty. Palate is medium to full, creamy with a soft carbonation and a lightly astringent and dry finish. This has to be the fullest and richest Stout I’ve had to date. Excellent in every respect.

Dec 13, 2009 Poured a dark chocolate brown with an initally thick khaki head which settled down to a thin layer of foam. Strong aromas of coffee and licorice. Super creamy and medium bodied. Bitter cocoa and coffee flavors. Somewhat dry finish. Overall a quality stout.

Dec 11, 2009 Bottle shared with portableparty tonight. Dark black pour, little carbonation and a solid bitter coffee and chocolate aroma. Flavor was also vanilla, coffee and very dry bitter chocolate and some hops on the finish. Definitely a great beer, but I really liked BGB Weasel much more.

Dec 10, 2009 This was one of the best stouts I have ever had, the toasted malts and coffee, just enough hops to balance it out. jet black with a tan head that stays forever, great bitter taste and just enough sweet aftertaste to keep you coming back.
