Apr 14, 2007 Blacker than sin, with a lovely thick cafe au lait coloured head. Aroma of malt, chocolate and smoke. Malty flavour with notes of chocolate, coffee and hops. Nice dry finish that still lasted. It had the complexity of imperial stout without the alcohol befuddling power. This may be the best stout I have ever tasted in my life. It certaily is my first 5.

Jun 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2007This is a pretty interesting ale. Kind of a cross between guinness and an Imperial stout. Hops are very prominent too. Dare I say, this is a session stout. Something I could probably drink everyday. Very very good.

Nov 7, 2006 Big thanks to Old_Mr_Crow for carting this to DC for me. Pure black body with a nice brown head. Great aroma, caramel, coffee, roasted nuts. Taste is very nice, slightly hot on the tounge, coffee and dark chocolate bitter. Sweet coffee overtones however are evident as is some dark fruit as in prunes. Ending is dry and sweetly-bitter. A very nice stout that I’m glad I was able to try.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a modest tan head with great retention. Aroma is lovely and enticing - chocolate & dark coffee. Tastes fantastic - nice and bitter chocolate with plenty of roasted coffee character and just a hint of sweetness, nice and dry. Lingering burnt finish, nice hops, touch of alcohol. Wonderful thick body with plenty of carbonation. This tastes like a much stronger imperial stout, even though it’s just a stout. Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Jul 14, 2009 Pours a khaki head with legs and a dark brown body. Smells of smoke, roast, and caramel. Flavor is the same. Little thin. Finish is a little sour, some bitterness, and smoke.

Sep 1, 2007 [Bottle, thanks Skyview] Pours dark brown with a dark tan head. Aroma is light hops, roasted malt, some chocolate, leather maybe?. Taste is hoppy, long roasted taste. Slightly bitter at the end. Thin with a long finish. Average, but too hoppy for my liking.
