Sep 6, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a small fizzy light brow head that receded to a wispy partial covering. The nose seems off from the first sniff, lots and lots of diacetyl going on and just a bit of roastiness makes it past. The flavor is fairly decent at first, very roasty and dry with a nice coffee note. The finish reveals the flaw quite prominently, lots and lots of butter. There’s a tinge of slightly acrid , not quite sour, burnt malt that doesn’t mix too well with the butter. Medium bodied with a bit of a slick finish and very prickly fizzy carbonation. Not a god efort at all.

Aug 5, 2009 Pours dark brown with a thin light brown head. Smells of sweet malt, some fruity hints. Tastes of chocolate, some dark fruit, some peppery splashes on the finish.

Aug 4, 2009 Pours black with a mostly receding ligth brown head. Notes of acidic roast malt, tart fruits, dark coffee, and minerals. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Got better once it warmed up for an hour or so and lost some of its carbonation.

Jul 4, 2009 bottle i believe from stfun....
pours mostly black with a huge rocky light brown head and lots of spotty lacing.
strange smell... something tart, charcoal, minerals, grain, coffee and chocolate. something in there is definitely off...
the flavor is of sour grain and limes... booo!... mineral water, roast and an aftertaste of coffee. it’s gone bad... still, it’s drinkable.
medium bodied with a light tinny mouth feel from high acidity. booo! 4/4/2.5/2/9/2.15

Dec 2, 2008 pours dark black with a light brown head. Aroma of sweet coffee,toffee,carmel- taste seems a bit watery - nice carbonated mouthfeel. taste is a bit bland for me and bordered on sour but not to the extent of other posts- not great.

Oct 23, 2008 Deep black with garnet highlights under an oily head. Deep roast aroma, mid-coffee and chocolate under. Full bodied with a carbonated lift. Nice balance of chocolate sweets easing into bittersweets then coffee/tea bitters. Surprisingly enjoyable, since my expectations were elevated. It takes some balls to use the word ’’Founders’’ when naming one’s stout. (Like Mishawaka’s IPA, this is better on tap than bottled.)
