Pours attractive deep brown with no head. Chocolate mainly in the nose and flavor, with an undesirable chalky influence.

Thanks to my SS, Poured from a bomber a very dark black with a creamy tan 1" head, which left very nice lacing. Nose had coffee and raosted malts, trace of smoke. Coffeeee up front, and very dry, some bittering in this. Very easy to drink, no trace of the 6% in this. Very good brew here, would love try more from them.

Bottle at the Chris_o shindig. Shiny black, nice fine dark tan head. Black olive aroma, chocolate, dark rum, vanilla--very nice. Clean chocolate flavor, the perfect amount of heat to give it punch. Vanilla. A really well-crafted stout.

Pour is a dark, dark brown with nice dark tan head. This one is full of bittersweet chocolate and coffee. Slightly roasty with hints of fruit and hops. It has the silky mouthfeel of an oatmeal stout. Tasty.

Bottle courtesy of ditmier in the Perfect 10 trade. Pours a deep jet black, viscous, with a thin dark tan head which swells a bit with agitation. Really nice aroma with plum, roast, caramel, coffee, and a touch of dark cocoa. Medium bodied, really smooth and roasty, with some nice dark chocolate notes. Long smooth roast bitter finish with a little light char flavor coming through. This was really good.

Pours an oily black with a thin brown head. Aroma of chocolate and flowers. Sweet and acrid with burnt chocolate flavor. Big soft body but a relatively dry finish. Lingering bitter oiliness. Good stuff.

Strong roasted malt aroma, very dark brown, creamy small tan head, lacing all down the glass. Nice 1.5 stout. Heavier than yr typical stout, smaller than an imperial. Just beefy with a scowl. Intense roast, dry grain, kick ass.

Bottle... Poured black with a thick, light brown head. Roasted, wood and oak flavors with a dark chocolate presence. This was surprisingly better than I’d hope. Resinous and chalky with a nice, creamy palate. Very noticeable oak and wood flavors. A little hoppy and chocolaty. Coffee, and smoked malted finish.
