Apr 26, 2007 22 oz bomber. Poured a velvety smooth looking black with an averge size light brown head. Aroma was chocolate ice cream, coffee, mlat and a slight touch of alcohol. Flavor however didn’t live up to the aroma and although nice with roasted malt, slight coffee and a good balance the palate was a little watery and I was expecting a little more. Good stout overall.

Reaper hit this one right - delicous stout - big recommendation. Looks great - pitch black, with a nice head. Pretty smooth with a nice balance of carbonation - and a fairly drinkable abv. Tastes like you would expect - with a hint of vanilla. Give it a shot for sure...

Apr 11, 2007 Poured a black with a medium to large creamy tan head. Aroma of coffee, malt, molasses; some earthiness, smoky and a slight metallic twinge. Really smooth stout; good palate and mouthfeel. Alcohol not really present much. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee a little chocolate, some caramel, with a dry finish. A lingering smoky finish; not overly smoky, maybe some wood too. Was surprised when I heard Green Flash brewed this; but not with the taste. Really a good beer.

Apr 9, 2007 Bottle split with Tronraner. Pours rather black with a small tannish head. The aroma has heavy coffee, meatiness, smoke, and earth. Mouthfeel is fairly dense, pretty much what I would hope for from this style. A nice ashy quality bites my palate along with mocha, plenty of coffee, and drying peanut skins.

Apr 8, 2007 Bomber split with NachlamSie. Pours black with small, but retentive, khaki head. Aroma is coffee, molasses, a little bit of cashew, and even some smoke. The flavor is quite roasty, with lots of coffee notes. Bitter cocoa and molasses float around, too. I pick up some good smoky notes in the middle, too, which give it a certain meatiness. The finish is roasty, ashy, and woody, and leaves an ashy and very dry aftertaste. I rather like this beer.

Apr 2, 2007 22 oz bottle, purchased 11/30/06. Pours a dark black with red highlights. It has a creamy brown head that dissipates to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is chocolate and grainy malts with notes of tar, vanilla and alcohol.
The flavor is charred chocolate and anise with a little slightly sour fruitiness. As it warms, a lot of sweet lactic vanilla comes out - a little too much. The alcohol is well hidden. The mouthfeel is medium to full and velvety.
Overall, a nice stout. It’s a little too sweet for me, it needs a little more roast or bitterness IMO.
