Apr 8, 2004 Updated: Jun 14, 2005Fair dry stout. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Pours deep black with thick, dark head. Flavors of chocolate and caramel. Thin and watery. It looks great but the total package is lacking.

Apr 7, 2004 Updated: Apr 8, 2004Pours a nice light brown head on a dark brown body. Aroma of dark roasted malt, tar and a lot of smoke. Somewhat thin flavor but still very smokey with a little malt underneath. Too thin, too smokey and not very good!

Mar 29, 2004 Nice thick rootbeer float head (big creamy bubbles) which leads to some great lacing. Aroma of cocco puffs (in milk), dark roasted grains and a hint of coffee. Color is essentially black. Flavor is not quite as thick as I expected. Slightly chalky and thinner that expected. Good roasted flavor, almost burnt at times like a crispy burnt steak that when you eat it dissintegrates into little carbon pieces (gritty). Good flavor though. Finish has a distinctive coffee flavor and leaves a chalky film in the mouth. Little bit of bitterness from the hops also. I keep going back to the chalky/gritty sensation but the beer is still decent beyond that.

Mar 14, 2004 Pours near black with a brown halo. The head is brownish red. Nose is roasted malt and burnt wood. Some lighter coffee notes as well. The taste seems more of the same - roasted malt, burnt wood, and some coffee. The body is a little thin but this in no way detracts from the beer. Otherwise the finish is smooth but a little bitter from the light hops and coffee. Good beer!
