Sep 14, 2009 Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn. Pours black/brown with tan head that fizzes away. Nose is super roasty, none of the fruity notes I’d expect. Some ashy notes and minimal hops. Quite bitter and very refined. Classic.

Sep 13, 2009 Just what a stout should be. Complex and flavourful. Marks lost for overt alcohol and slightly medicinal hops in the finish. Otherwise, a really nice stout.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/27/09. Had high expectations for this brew and was not disappointed at all. Pours a beautiful black with little mocha head. Great coffee and chocolate aroma with nice earthy hops underneath. Great sweetness up front with a very balanced bitter finish. Just the right amount of carbonation to give a very smooth mouthfeel.

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle. Pour is black with medium deep brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, chocolate, hints of coffee, and vanilla bean. Flavor is true to nose but more bitter than expected. Finish is mocha with distant hints of hops. It’s a solid stout and easy to drink.

Jun 10, 2009 Pours back with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, and chocolate. Bitter finish, but the flavor is actually a little sweet and it has some chocolate in it. Really nice stout...glad Sam’s Wine is carrying their brews, I am going to try more.
