Nov 12, 2009 GABF gold, huh? I tried it there and neglected to review it (I know, what kind of ticker am I?), but luckily I tried it again on tap at PP Carlsbad on San Diego Beer Week (phew!). For some reason I tend to like sweet stouts more than others do, and this was no exception. Black in color with a creamy one-finger tan head and good lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor is similar, typical stout profile but executed very well, with some milk as well as some earthy notes. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Solid stuff.
