This was from a 22oz bottle purchased in Ashland, Oregon. It poured a deep black color, and left a nice tan head. Lacing was chunky and attractive in the glass. The nose was sweet molasses, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, nice roast malts, and citrus hops. Mouthfeel was thick and oily, and very smooth. Flavor is the molasses, coffee, chocolate, malts, hops and some sweet fruits kicking in. and some dark fruits. Finish was long and enjoyable with just enough piney hops to go with the coffee at the end. Wonderful brew.

22-oz. bottle via trade with Larry Pitonka. Pours opaque with an average creamy dark brown head, somewhat diminishing, good lacing. Aroma is average malt (molasses, chocolate), heavy hops (perfume, pine), average yeast (leather) with notes of smoke. Full bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness; heavy roasted malt flavor.

22oz bottle. Good multiple aromas from this beer. Smoke, wood and mild sweet licorice. Black body with dark tan head and oily lacing left on glass. Medium body texture along with some coffee and coco flavors. Smooth on the palate and left a dry tobacco aftertaste.

Bottle poured black with a thin brown head and lacing and oily skim on surface of beer. Light aroma of coffee and roasty malts. Flavor of tobacco, burnt wood and roasty malts with a medium heavy body and rich mouthfeel.

Pours black with tan thin head and all the way to the bottom of the glass lacing. When I loved stouts, I would have loved this. Dark, rich coffee and smoke aromas and flavors. Feels like more alcohol than it is. Burnt, caramalized aftertaste. Alas, I no longer care for stouts, thus the rating.
