shadey (1343), Rochester, New York, USA Jun 27, 2008 On tap at MacGregor’s in Henrietta. Black color with a dark tan head of nitro-induced fluff. The aroma is muted - I could only smell the roast and maybe a hint of something toffee-ish. The flavor was a bit more complex. Some burnt wood, toffee, and just a touch of sweetness. The body was silky smooth, although I’m sure the nitro tap had a lot to do with it. A very easy drinking, pleasant experience. mkobes (2039), somewhere, New Jersey, USA Mar 6, 2008 On tap at the Gate. Deep dark black in color with a nice off white head. Malty roasty chocolatety aroma. Toffee nutty notes. Malty and caramel flavor. Roasty bittersweet chocolate flavor. Medium bodied. Finish is bittersweet chocolate. Decent beer. JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 27, 2008 Growler from Bierkraft. Dark black beer with a thick light tan head. Aroma is quite nice, light cocoa and roasted barley over a nice lean pale malt base. More roasty than many other dry stouts along with a bit of graininess. A light tartness on the back, roasty and even a little spicy. Roasty finish with a bit of lingering tartness. Very nice dry stout... bone dry on the back. The best of this style I’ve had in quite some time. TheBeerOrg (1391), Kentucky, USA Apr 7, 2008 Pours pitch black with a mostly off-white head. Aroma of light roast, chocolate. Taste of mild roast, light toffee. Full bodied with lush carbonation. A good stout, but also fairly forgettable. blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA May 6, 2008 Draft at Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Pours almost black with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and dark chocolate. Medium body. Flavor is burnt wood, caramel and floral hops. Nice.
