Apr 3, 2008 Courtesy of Old_Mr_Crow. Thanks Carl! Pours jet black with a medium lightbrown head. Smells of profound rich chocolate, dark malts, with a touch of some dark fruits as well. Really dug on the nose. The flavor is of pretty rich chocolate as well, just like I like it. Some dark malts added some bitterness to it. Some sweet caramel shows up in the finish. Maybe a touch of some hops are noticeable as well. Really rich and fullfilling stout.

Mar 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle, courtesy mgumby10. Pours a pitch black color, with a thin white head, and some nice lacing on the glass. Pure chocolate aromas, with a pure, driven maltiness. Some coffee in there, too, but masked by chocolate. Sweet flavors of rich chocolate, and a nice vanilla flavor that’s prevalent throughout. Roasted finish. Easy to drink, medium-bodied. Balanced, albeit with a malty edge to it.

Feb 14, 2008 Sample Hotshots Feb Indy tasting - Aroma is mellow chocolate and burnt marshmallows. Pours black with a small brow head and good lacing. Flavor is roasted chocolate malt, smoke and ash. Palate is dry and smooth. Tasty to be sure, but was unfortunately in the wrong place in the lineup to be fully appreciated.

Jan 20, 2008 bomber by way of kenb. a near black viscous pour with a thin cocoa colored head. robust aroma of roasty malts, chocolate, smokey coffee and hot cream. the palate is surprisingly dry and every part of the word robust (again!). MEAT, malt, chocolate, charcoal, wood and a light sourness in the middle. smokey and dry finish with some coffee as well. these all linger in the aftertaste. full bodied with an amazingly smooth creamy texture. complex and beautiful.
