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.

aroma: mild, not good nor bad. lacks depth and richness. app: great blackness. flavor: smoke ash back of the mouth acidic hop thing. also a mild odd sweetness. palate: fine. OA: for me it was just ok. lacks balance. and the hops are odd.

May 18, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Black pour with a dark tan head. Head leaves after a bit. Moderate cocoa aroma, light chocolate, some vague earthy hop character. Slight lactose character on the taste, a good amount of roast but there’s some astringency to the roast that detracts a bit. Still nice overall.

May 11, 2008 Bomber. Poured healthy deeper brown with a creamy cap of short tan head. The aroma was just what I needed.. deep coffee, anise, and caramel maltage with a sweet uptake on the back that carried fresh pine.. light smoke accent.. just a wonderful blend of components. The flavor picked up sweeter, deeply-roasted coffee at the core surrounded by dry, smoky pine needle bitterness.. the hops and coffee bitterness made a stronger impression toward and through the finish.. tasty and well-balanced. Dry and medium-bodied with rising bitterness as the drink progressed.. a little too sharp toward the back.. all in all quite excellent!

May 2, 2008 22oz bottle from bottle trek. Pours opaque with a medium sized milk chocolate head, some lacing. Great nose dominated by toffee, black licorice, and coffee grounds. Flavor had some smoke, leather, chocolate and dark fruits. A great stout!
