Jul 28, 2009 Form a 750 corked and caged bottle this poured a very dark brown with a fat tan head and thick lacing rings. Nose is very strongly of chocolate and vanilla, with smoky malts. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. The flavor is mostly roasted malts with some smoke, and bitter-sweet chocolate. Finish is bitter-sweet as well. A very nice stout.

Jul 25, 2009 Draft at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. You are inundated by dark chocolate and roasted malt in the aroma and flavor. Bittersweet chocolate aftertaste. Very interesting but best in small doses.

Jul 19, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown, almost black pour, plenty of cookie colored head. Aroma of rich dark chocolate and vanilla. Flavor is tons of smoky/toasty malts, bitter chocolate, oily and somewhat thin on the finish. Decent, but worth the $11-12/bottle price.

Jul 3, 2009 Pours black with big, brown, tight head. Good bit of sediment in the bottom. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, toffee, hints of smoke and soy sauce. Flavor is dark chocolate--more bitter chocolate than sweet, but still chocolate. Also coffee, light smoke, light nuts. Fairly smooth & silky mouthfeel, just a tad oily. Overall a nicely done stout.
