Nov 26, 2004 Bottle pours black, dark brown highlights, large tannish foamy head, with fairly attractive lacing. Coffee, roasted malts, and a semi-sweet or dry chocolate aroma. Burnt malts, coffee, and bakers chocolate on the tongue. A bit chalky, but definitely dry. Good body, moderate mouthfeel. Long finish, just as it started. I think this to be a great example of the style. Not overly dry, with great body and flavor. Could be a bit thicker, but good nonetheless.

Nov 19, 2004 Clear and dark brown with a red hue. Light brown creamy head that leaves a nice ring in the glass. Dry bitter chocolate aroma with sweet vanilla and strawberry(?). Exceptional taste... light roasted chocolate. .Leaves a roasted metallic feeling on the tongue. Palate is so-so. A little thin. But I’m all about the flavor of this one. Very good.

Nov 8, 2004 Pitch black, small tan creamy head. Nose is loaded with bitter-sweet chocolate, vanilla, roasted coffee with a dark fruit edge to it. Well balanced, bittered, with burnt expresso and airy bitter chocolate taking the reigns. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, semi-dry, bitter finish. Finally an awesome stout that’s not Imperial....

Oct 30, 2004 Opaque black with a medium kahki head. Roasty, cocoa aroma with some nice notes of licorice. Dry and roasty, some dark fruity notes. Roasted coffe bean flavor in the finish as well as some licorice. Solid stout.

Oct 30, 2004 Updated: Nov 6, 2006Bottle... This beer rocks...Midnight black with a small, creamy, very well-tanned head. Good retention. The nose is of milk chocolate and vanilla, cherries, a touch of port and a whisper of buttermilk. Perfectly balanced and very burnt with notes of dusty cocoa powder and espresso grounds. Moderately bitter. Medium-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, bitter finish. World class brew from the fine folks in Oregon!
