Pours almost black with a nice creamy/tan head. Smells of some malts, coffee, toffee, chocolate, smokey and nuts. Subtle flavors of sweetness along with every flavor the aroma promised. A little dry and bitter finish, same with the carbonation, a little. Had everything you could want in a stout just more mild than I would like in each category. I very much enjoyed this and could drink as many as I please.

Oct 2, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear dark mahogany under a fizzy quickly receding beige head. Some lacing though. Aroma is fairly light, mostly a burnt and roasted maltiness with a light anise and chalk accent. Flavor is roasted and burnt malt with a good bit of astringency. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with some coffee and chalkiness. Mouth feel was lighter bodied with a fairly watery texture. Carbonation is active and fizzy.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a creamy, two finger brown head. Aroma of malt and coffee. Flavor is dry with malt and coffee. Body is way too light for a beer like this. Not impressed at all.
