Mar 1, 2006 Looks like a promising stout. Dark with a fairly dense creamy head. Smells like roasty yeast with hints of sweet coffee. The palate is a little thin for a stout, though not unpleasant. Sweet and roasty, I can’t taste much of the chocolate hint they claim is in here, but still decent. Not a lot of dimensions to the flavor, but not at all unpleasant, very drinkable.

Feb 26, 2006 Deep black with ruby highlights (in bright sunlight), a thin head faded but lingered above as a tan halo. Striking aromas as coffee with light fruitiness (but the fruits just seem to get in the way of the great coffee roastiness). Awesome depth of flavor with the persistent coffee persona beneath light sweetness within a full body that carries the roasts to their full potential. Like this review, New Holland Poet was quite a mouthful.

Feb 26, 2006 12 oz bottle from Woodmans
Creamy tan head protected a deep black body. Scents of chocolate, oatmeal, grains and roastd coffee beans. First impression was of oatmeal, grain, barley and coffee. Soon after picked up smoky and chocolately tones. Mildly chewy. Dry, smooth creamy finish. Very pleasant to drink.

Feb 11, 2006 Very creamy in the mouth, tasting of roasted barley, dark malt, coffee, and a drop of chocolate. Pretty much how it smells, too. Hints of smoke. Nice dark brown body with a short-lived brown head. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine & Spirits, Downers Grove, IL<font size=-1>
