illinismitty (1492), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jun 15, 2008 Bottle from Chalet Party Shoppe in Goshen, IN. Pours brown black with a frothy tan head. Aroma of fruity ale esters. Flavor is sweet and vinegary, with no dryness and little dark roast. This one is infected. I am not having much luck with this brewery. They need to step up their QC.
bretupdegraff (135), Fishers, Indiana, USA 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. frankenkitty (1834), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA 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.)

He thought this was going to be funny to send me this beer. It wasnt funny, Sean. I am going to take a shit on every bottle I have for you right now. Infected bottle, I dont even know if I should rate this, but I will because I like to be like a clock and rate any beer that graces my lips. It looks nice in the glass, it even smells nice like coffee and chocolate. But when you taste it..... it is so sour it almost makes you gag. This beer shows promise but went straight into the drain. Thanks for this awesome beer Sean, I rank it up there with the Becks AF. djcoolhark (21), South Bend, Indiana, USA Aug 8, 2008 Great beer on tap. One of the best stouts I’ve had. I’ve heard some problems about bottles from friends, but the tap lets this one shine. A great malted coffee taste.
