Had this after the imperial stout, so I my seem a little harsh. Great aroma, but seemed flat to me. Reminded me of a dry stout. Smooth and drinkable but I was spoiled on the imperial

Sampler at the Brew pub, 3/31/07. Nitro stout as expected. Pours black with an off white head. Little smokeyness not much else in the nose. The taste is sweet light and not exciting. eh for a stout.

Tried it on tap. Dark color stout with a good head. Creamy and smooth texture. Flavor was hoppy with some chocolate/coffee and a bit of sweetness.

Dark stout, clear, with reddish hues, and a big moka head. Light roasted coffee beans aroma with vanilla notes. Lighter creamy mouthfeel, burned coffee and bitter chocolate in taste. Powdery nature. Medium bodied. On tap, August 2005.
