Oct 3, 2008 Nearly perfect stout. I am leaving room for the perfect one wich I haven’t tried yet. But, this is the best one yet (10/08). A truly enjoyable beer that you can savor each sip. Good for dead of winter days lounging by the fire. I must have if you can find it.

Oct 3, 2008 Very black pour, almost opaque. Has a very strong aroma of dark roasted barley that gives it an almost chocolate smell. Quite thick and has standard Stout bitter, yet pleasent, aftertaste. You should try it if you can find it. Great beer.

Oct 1, 2008 Black pour, not much light or coloring even around the edges. Solid brown head. Roasty aromas, some red fruit and barrel aroma also. Fairly carbonated, but ends up being somewhat creamy. Roast/burnt malts, bakers chocolate, dark red fruit/port wine flavors. Med/full bodied. Finishes real clean and warm. The standout in the North Coast stable.
