Apr 27, 2008 Yeah, not quite an imperial stout, so the foreign stout distinction is apt - dark brown/ruby beer, with a small, soapy lace - interesting aroma of cocoa, vanilla bean, tobacco, and an earthy, almost briny character that reminds me of seaweed salad (I’m not crazy, I smell it damn you!) - it’s actually a wee bit nutty and salty up front, but this quickly makes way for chocolate sweetness, which itself is swiftly undercut by tobacco and leafy herb bitterness - lingering notes of hazelnut - a very mild background acidity - some very interesting earthy components to this one - just different enough to stand out - but I swear something about this reminds me of seaweed salad.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours a deep black with a hint of red and a thick tan head. Very nice roasted grain, chocolate malt, coffee, and some spicy hop aroma. Yummy. Medium body with lots of chocolate malt and roasted grains. Some hops are in there just top keep things from getting too sweet and chocolaty. As it warms, it becomes sweeter and fruitier. Very nice.
