Jul 25, 2008 Bottle shared by Decaturstevo. Pours deep brown with a nice light brown head. Wonderful aroma of dark roasted malts, coffee grounds, chocolate, and a hint of smoke. Medium bodied with a medium to soft carbonation. Flavor of milk, wet dark grains, chocolate, and nuts. Finishes slightly thin but smooth. Very milk stout like. Nice

Jul 20, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Not so much a taste of chocolate as there is a nice dark oatmeal taste, slightly sweet and enjoyable.

Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to Facto for sharing! About midway through the tasting, this one was a very nice refresher. Funny to say that about a stout, perhaps, but it was certainly nice contrast from the sticky, boozy beers that had come before. A nice nose of chocolate and roasts, this had autumn campfire written all over it. Smooth mouthfeel, nice on the palate, a good one overall.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark, with a deep, chocolate milk colored head. Though it’s classified as a sweet stout, it seems lighter than that. Very smoky, with some burnt malt sharpness. Lots of hops makes this much better.

Jul 18, 2008 Bottle. Almost black with substantial head. Aroma is sweet with some roasted nuts, although the first sip is bitter, with heavily roasted malts dominating everything after that. Like drinking a dark-roast Starbucks coffee. Good beer, although not real subtle and maybe a bit one-dimensional with the smoky roast.
