MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA Sep 5, 2005 Tap at the brewpub. Darkest brown, nice tan head. Roasty aroma, light diacetyl and DMS. Roasty flavors with butterscotch notes. Dry roasty finish. Not a favorite. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Nov 5, 2004 Pint at the brewpub. Deathly black, creamy small topping, total opacity. Fairly sharp bitter chocolate-coffee nose, soft but tingly mouthfeel, quite dry. Too light overall, but lovely rich coffee bitterness and a light coating of tar and cigarettes bring this up a bit. Not terribly bitter at the finish. vwsteggie (684), Paxton, Massachusetts, USA Jun 15, 2003 Has a very dark brown color and a roasted malt smell. Taste was of smooth roasted malts and finished smooth, but a little watery. Overall it was an ok stout, not the best, but not bad. I did not like the watery taste to much. Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA May 5, 2003 NERAX '03: Clear brown/ruby color, coffee and chocolate aroma, slightly watery mouthfeel. Robust, long aftertaste.
