Jun 24, 2008 Thanks to brewdad for giving me the chance to try this. Poured thick and black, small brown head. Smell was chocolate and bitter roast. Taste was a big bitter kick at first, then fading into rich chocolate, smoke and roast. For a normal stout, this packs some flavor. I really enjoyed this one.

Jun 11, 2008 22 oz bottle. Thanks to drewbeerme for sharing this on Memorial Day. I’ve been wanting to try this one for quite awhile. Pours a brown black color with a creamy brown head. Roasted malts, chocolate and a touch of smoke in the aroma. The body is a little watery. Roasted and slighlty ashy malts are dominating the palate. Light bakers chocolate flavors with charred malt, hops, and molasses in the finish. Decent beer, especially for a standard stout. I’d like to see them try to imperialize this.

Jun 4, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours dark black with a thin tan head. Nice chocolate, coffee, and smokey aroma. Beer is a little thin, but it does pack some good flavor to it. Nice dark roast flavor, nice coffee and chocolate as well. Little bit of bitter aftertaste.

Jun 4, 2008 22 oz bottle. Near black with a spongy tan head. Nose is cocoa, molasses, espresso and raisin. Mmmm. Body a bit thin but develops some richness. Faint carb. Taste is dark roast and chocolate caramel. Coffee bean finish with grapefruit.

May 29, 2008 bottle. pours a deep chocolate color with a rich tan head. aroma is of dark chocolate and hints of coffee. flavor is of very bitter dark chocolate with a nice blend of earthy hops and velvety malt. had this for the first time on tap at Pike in Seattle, and thought it it was better though a bottle is quite good.

May 28, 2008 very nice - black pour, chocolate roasted malt flavors with a hint of smokiness and cream. Had this on tap at the brewery today, wanted to try more but only had a few minutes.
