Oct 30, 2008 bomber. Pours black witha beautiful brown head which lasted to produce intricate lacing. Smell is of roast malt with a hint of smoke. taste is of roast malt and harsh coffee. Mouthfeel is medium with a bitter, dry chalk finish. ok brew.

Oct 23, 2008 (bottle): Pours a black body, tan head good lacing & lacing, watery. Strong aroma of coffee, bitter coffee grounds. Coffee taste, some chocolate. Bitter chocolate. Pretty rough for me.

Oct 23, 2008 Draft. Great example of what a stout should taste like, though I certainly prefer imperials. Mild carbonation in a rich, black pour - small, mocha head. Milk chocolate blends with bitter hops and a bit of roasted malts (though not so roasted as to bring out coffee notes). A great fallback when nothing more intriguing is available.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle and on tap at Pike: Pours deep black with a light brown head. Mocha, smoke, chocolate and roast in the nose. Full roasty flavor, dark cocoa, espresso, coffee, chocolate and a slightly charred finish - which isn’t ashy. Light caramel sweetness. Full, round and creamy with moderate carbonation. My favorite Pike beer.
