Dec 16, 2008 Batch 08-0410 Pitch black beer with a thick tan head. Aroma is very rich and chocolatey. Loads of soft milk chocolate and cocoa. A very light sweetness and a bit of cream and vanilla as well. Light toasty back notes behind the sweet milk chocolate. A bit of soft earthiness and a light flinty bitterness. Soft espresso roastiness and a rich bitterness. Pretty awesome beer.

Dec 14, 2008 Portland Holiday Ale Fest 2008. Dark brown/almost black, with a tall khaki head. Sweet dark chocolate up front, good roastiness. Finish has a soft coffee note and a light hint of peanut butter. Overall pretty nice stout, definitely a bit on the sweet side, but I enjoy sweeter stouts.

Dec 13, 2008 Coffee is pronounced, chocolates, nutty, and a little salty. A good stout, but nothing to get real excited about.

Dec 13, 2008 Pours out black with a small slightly lacing tan head. Aroma is heavy coffee and some sweet candy-bar chocolate. Bit watery on the palate, lots of coffee, roasted malt, and some chocolate sweetness, overall the sweetness was a little too much, its like when you put a few too many sugar packets in your coffee. Overall not bad.
