Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 15, 2008Draught (nitro) @ Portsmouth Brewpub. Pours opaque black with a moderate, creamy tan head. Nose is roasty, a bit of cocoa. Taste is round and smooth - cocoa and a bit of coffee, roasty malt, and a very light acidity to balance, very light roasty dryness on the smooth finish. Mouthfeel is creamy with a big round body. Delicious beer.

Jun 24, 2008 Dark brown. Light head. Fudgey, chocolatey and deep aroma - delicious. Balanced, fudgey character. Gets a bit thin and husky (common issue with this brewery). I like the chocolate note, though.

Jun 17, 2008 Draught, sample @ brewpub. Opaque black with small white head and lacing. Rich roasted malt nose and flavors that permeate the body and linger nicely in the finish. Quaffable with a good, and welcomingly thin mouthfeel for optimal sessionability.

Apr 5, 2008 Pours a dark, almost burnt looking brown. The aroma is nutty, roasted and seems to have a slight hint of smoke. The flavor is an extension, with a bitterness that seems to round this one out nicely.

Feb 13, 2008 Bottle from porterhouse and served in my Stone IRS snifter: Deep brown hue with a fading frothy tan head and left spotty lace in it’s wake. The aroma has notes of grapefruit and piney vapours, coffee, toasted and charred malt, some bittersweet chocolate too. The taste is a fine balance of sweet malt and bitter hops with a mild lactic twang. Coffee and a touch of smoke is also found within. The mouth feel is a tad thin and chalky (A problem I had with Kate the Great as well). Overall a very drinkable stout I had no problem finishing.
