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.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & mds -- my bottle courtesy of acertain. Not sure what vintage, ’05-’06 I think? Pours a deep black with a huge mostly-lasting light-brown head. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, hops and chocolate. Slightly sweet flavour of coffee, roasted malt and chocolate with a dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Hmmm, not as great as I expected, maybe some batches are better then others? Either way, I still quite enjoyed it.

Draft at Pke Pub & Brewery, Seattle, WA. Tan head that was mostly lasting with absolutely beautiful lacing, opaque, no visible carbonation, and a black hue. Nose was roasty, coffee, some smokey notes, malty. Flavor was roasty, coffee, lightly smokey, and lightly bitter. Mouthfeel was smooth and somewhat thin. Light-medium bodied. Needs a little more body to it to be a true stout IMO. Quaffable, easy drinking and worthy of a try.
