Sep 9, 2007 Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a decent tan head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of dark black malt, some coffee, smoked wood, dark chocolate and a touch of tobacco. Taste is full bodied, very lightly carbonated with flavors of dark chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Finish is smooth, creamy with a decent coffee and chocolate aftertaste. One of the best over the top stouts.

Sep 5, 2007 Updated: Jan 14, 2008On draft at the Pike Pub in Pike Place Market, Seattle. Poured blacker than black with a generous mocha head. Aroma of coffee and bitter chocolate. Crikey...this is a delicious stout, with a full-bodied roasted malt and chocolate flavor. So good I had it twice! Warming alcohol finish.

Sep 4, 2007 Thanks to Skyveiw for sharing another tick off my want list. Nice brown body with roasted oatmeal nose. Similar flavor but with a coffee flavor and faint chocolate. Really nice.

Sep 2, 2007 Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Now this is more like it. Good dark colour with a big beige head. Lots of roast malt. Enough coffee and chocolate to add interest without dominating. Plenty of bitter hops to enhance the drinkability. Beautifully balanced and just a really nice stout all round. The beer of the day.

Sep 2, 2007 Roasted aroma, which itself is not very impressive. The flavor however, is complex and exceptional. There is sweet malt and roasted grain. Considerable smoke. Fairly thick on the palate and undercarbonated. Quite good.

Sep 1, 2007 (bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours black with a dark tan head. Aroma is somewhat subdued, but there is some dark chocolate and roasted malt present. Taste is of roasted malt with dark chocolate, with a coffee bitterness on the finish. Not bad, but a little thin.
