Jul 4, 2008 Thanks to miketd for the bomber. Pours dark brown with a large head. Good lace. Aroma of chocolate, dusty yeast and coffee. Very dry taste. Medium to light body, you might even say it was crisp.

Jul 1, 2008 22 oz bottle, via FlacoAlto. Pours a black body with a one finger fizzy brown head that faded to a clingy ring. The nose is roasty with lots of cocoa powder and sugars. Coffee, charred malt, and a bit of chalk. Heavy roast and coffee grounds with a good bit of sweet lactose sugar up front. Finishes to a slightly bitter and burnt malt lingering finish. The body is thick and almost chewy with a very mouth coating clingy finish. Moderate fizzy carbonation. Pretty good overall, but it kind of tired my palate out after the first half of the bottle.

Jun 27, 2008 At Oggi’s in Del Mar. Decent, middle of the road stout. Smooth, malty, nutty - easily drinkable. Mild enough to be a good cross-over beer.

Jun 15, 2008 Black pour, moderate sized tan head, decent lacing and retention. Roasty aroma with lesser chocolate, caramel and nut notes. Bitter chocolate and roast in the finish. Nothing seems to be ’foreign’ about it.

Jun 6, 2008 Pitch black, foamy head retention. Meaty, malty, cranberry aroma, with some molasses to boot. Strong coffee, chocolate, and molasses flavors, slightly bittersweet, and deep roasty maltiness. Only downside is the rough alcohol burn midpalate and alcoholic finish.

May 29, 2008 Very roasted aroma sits above this very dark glas of deliciousness. Thick khaki head. Flavors of chocolate, burnt toffee and some black malt shine through thechewy body, with a blast of hops on the swallow. A very nice stout.

May 26, 2008 Nitro at Oggi’s Vista. Pours dark brown/black with a thick, creamy, light brown head. Smells dark and roasty malty, only slightly sweet. Tastes dark and malty, slightly watery, roasty, with a touch of dish towel. Medium to thickish body, smooth carbonation, nice. Tastier out of the bottle in my opinion.
