Bottle.
Head is initially average sized, fizzy, brown, fully diminishing.
Body is black (non-opaque, flashlight tested).
Aroma is moderately malty (chocolate milk, roasted grain, husks).
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, soft carbonation, lightly alcoholic.
Where to begin? The head, yes, the head...as fizzy as Coca-Cola and just as fully diminishing...no trace of it left in only a few seconds after pouring. Ultra-simple aroma of chocolate syrup/milk and maybe some charred husks. Syrupy sweet with almost nothing at all to balance. Unpleasant in all aspects.

Jul 14, 2008 600ml Bottle. Poured deep brown, almost black in color with a small tan head. Aroma of mocha, roasted coffee, and fairly sweet. Tastes of roasted coffee, mocha and vanilla with a slightly bitter and dry finish. Pretty straight forward.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours inky black with a thin tan colored head. Aroma is sweet chocolate, roast, coffee. Flavor is super sweet chocolate, light coffee, caramel. Palate is medium to full bodied, mild carbonation, finished way too sweet. I like sweet stout but this was waaayy over the top sweet.
