Out of a bomber. Beer is a nearly opqaue, very dark brown with an average-sized, light brown, frothy, mostly lasting head. The aroma is really lush and sexy, albeit simple: Matly with heavy notes of roasted grain, biscuit, coffee, milk chocolate, light note of molasses; Hoppy with a light note of herb; Yeasty with a light, savory note of bread dough; Miscellaneous light notes of vanilla/oak, green olive/brine and alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly-to-moderately bitter, lightly acidic with a long, moderately bitter, moderately acidic, moderately sweet finish. Slight alcohol warmth and light molasses aftertaste. The body is full, the texture is velvety and the carbonation is lively. Bravo. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA

I’m there in less than 5 weeks. Adios Midwest dirt farmer, hello dirty earth people. So this bottle pours a jet vblack with a perfect brown head. Smells of coffee, chocolate, a lot like a warm toostsie roll really. Taste is muted powdered choclate, coffee, and a floral hop finish. Light caramel notes populate this. Finish ois cocoa and coffee. Not sure of the ABV, but I can’t detect any alcohol. This is a nice enjoyable stout. Nice yellow cake lingering flavor.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2006 Very nice pour with a solid aroma of coffee and a light smokiness. A bit thin bodied and way to much alcohol flavor, the aftertaste felt like a just took a shot, not very well settled, might need more aging. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
