Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 18, 2009 22 oz’er -- This beer had me at "hello" -- deep, black and rich with a powerful, big tan head. With a rich and raw aroma, this beer delivers a big, roasty flavor, full of dark chocolate and cream. Delicious stout. (#3700, 10/18/2009) MrBunn (1520), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2009 Bottle. Body is dark brown with little head... after a few seconds there is little more than a thin scummy film on the surface. Aromas are certainly unique. There is a bit of a rum burn to it, some dark chocolate and coconut or something like that. It smells a little like an alcoholic Almond Joy. Mouthfeel is very thin, but flavor is pretty robust, especially in the finish (err... that is in the finish before the rusty aftertaste kicks in.) There is quite a bit of chocolate and booze, but the late finish seems to have a bit of an iron/rust yuckiness. Still, if you take your next sip before that kicks in you can avoid the unpleasantness. blankboy (3157), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 24, 2009 Bottle [660ml]. Pours a very dark brown with an average size lasting frothy tan head. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt, light coffee, some chocolate, light hops and some sweetness. Flavour’s lightly roasted, quite carbonated and with some ice coffee flavour, chocolate, light green hops and a long bitter finish. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Nothing spectacular or anything but a good Stout, I liked it. jeremytoni (1069), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Jul 10, 2009 From a bottle poured dark brown with a good amount of head. Nice light sweet malty flavor with a quick finish. JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Jul 7, 2009 Bottle sample at the Columbus Alefest on 6/27/09. Pours darkest brown with a thin tan head. Roasty coffee aroma with chocolate malt. Malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Got a bit of beef broth flavor on the first sip, but didn’t taste it after that so I’m chalking that up to whatever I drank before it. Dogbrick (2813), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 30, 2009 Sample at AleFest Columbus (06/27/09): Pours dark brownish-black with a thin light brown head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing. Light roasted malt and nuts in the nose. Medium, clean body with flavors of mild coffee, roasted malt and caramel. The finish is dry and roasty with a light coffee aftertaste. Slightly above average overall. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA May 19, 2009 22oz bottle-pours a foamy light brown head and black color. Aroma is sweet dark malt-chocolate/molasses, some earthy hops. Taste is sweet dark malt-chocolate/molasses, ashy, secondary earthy/acidic hops.
