Dec 19, 2009 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.

Dec 13, 2009 On Tap at The Pike. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of sweet toasted dark malt. Tastes of coffee roastedness with a little bit of a burnt note. Earthy hops. Full of flavor, leaves thick tan lacing that coats the glass impressively. There is some depth here. On a side note, this was part of a 3 beer, 3 chocolate beer/chocolate pairing sampler. Only beer that had a chocolate dark and bitter enough to successfully pair.

Nov 18, 2009 22oz bomber, 7.0% ABV listed.
Pours completely black with only the faintest hint of light penetrating the edges. There’s a small but thick mocha head that leaves only spotty lacing.
The aroma is nice with equal measures sweetness and roastiness. The sweetness comes from the dark chocolate mainly and the malts come across heavily roasted with some coffee hints. There are even some fresh green hops thrown in.
The taste is more of the same with the initial taste containing a kick of the green hops before the heavily roasted black malts take over. There is some cocoa sweetness on top with a finish that is a mixture of dry roasted malts and green hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied and extremely creamy with a dry, roasted finish.
This is a very good export stout and I like the hop presence thrown in for added complexity.

Nov 13, 2009 Courtesy ChzMan. Dark brown, tan head. Typical, but mild, stout flavors and aromas- roasted malt, cocoa, coffee. All rather muted. Medium/full body, balanced, very drinkable. Too strong to session, not enough going on to sip. Meh. From notes.
