Jun 17, 2002 Far and away the best-of-show of the samples I had at the pub last week; this one I had to sample in a full pint, and was not disappointed. Super-creamy, rich head and body (think Guinness); nose is faintly coffee/sweet, not super-promising, but flavor kicks ass, milk-chocolate-covered espresso is what I thought of; as it warms, a nuttiness creeps in, with caramel and vanilla cream also present. Could challenge Mackeson, just wonderful. The Rye was good too; this brewery has some promise (no bottles except on premises, alas).

Apr 23, 2004 On tap at the Portsmouth Brewery. Black color with a giganto cascading head. It had a nice mellow choco-coffee flavor that was really nice without overdoing it. Good stuff.

Aug 9, 2006 [22 oz. bottle] Pours a nice black color, with a short tan head. Aroma is very nice- roasted malts and chocolate lure you right in. Creamy milk chocolate, sweet roasted malts and some subtle coffee make the flavors. As it warms, the aroma becomes a bit sweeter, and the flavors a bit nuttier. Finishes with some subtle hops. An well done, endlessly drinkable beer.

Nov 23, 2007 Sampled at the Brewery in Portsmouth NH (really nice staff and brewers)--Deep brown-black body and small lacy tan head. Dry, crisp mouth feel. Roasted chocolate palate. Nutty and mildly spiced from PNW hops. Stellar all around brew!

Feb 5, 2008 Pours from the bomber to a dark black color with medium thick tan head that lingers well and leaves okay lacing. Aroma is a sweet blend of malt choclate, toffee and roasted nuts, with just a hint of hops. The only downside of this beer was the mouthfeel, which was fairly flat and watery, probably due in part to the low %abv. The taste kicked back in with the same malty flavors found in the nose. This all rounded off to a nice pleasant finish.
Not a bad beer at all.

Jan 18, 2005 Nicely balanced stout with a good head, full body and nice finish. I enjoyed the chocolate and coffee notes playing off the bitter hops. A good stout.
