Mar 8, 2007 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.

Mar 3, 2007 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.

Feb 17, 2007 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.

Feb 14, 2007 A nice full bodied ale. This is a very hoppy stout, and upon the first sip, it almost had grapefruit notes similar to an IPA. This particular stout has a strong flavor to it, very potent in regards to the style. A decent beer that I wouldn’t mid buying again.

Feb 12, 2007 Draught sampler at the brewpub. Deep brown-black with ruby tints and a drak tan head. Aroma and flavour are big and roasty, with a lot of coffee, and hints of molasses and smoke, with a dryish finish that’s kinda like chewing on a coffee bean. Great mouthfeel. A very fine stout!

Jan 30, 2007 My beer man tells me that this stuff has returned to the original recipe after a short hiatus. Thanks to whomever made that call. Rich, black, citrus hops, toastiness, cream, and general jubilation...in that order. I’d bathe in this shit if I weren’t so broke. Outstanding stout.
GG (1609), NorCal, California, USA
Jan 20, 2007 NorCal tasting Jan 07 - Pours out a beautiful jet black color with a nice beige head. Aroma is sweet molasses, roasted coffee beans, cocoa, and black licorice. Mouthfeel was thick and viscuous with a coating feeling. Flavors were roasted malts, coffee beans, dark chocolate and burnt sugar. My only complaint was that burnt coffee/black patent was a bit too strong here. It lingered so damn long I tasted it the next morning. Nice brew.
