Nov 27, 2008 Pours black as midnight with a thick and creamy tan head. Nice licorice and coffee smell with a hint of backing chocolate and some oat. Very roasty flavor with chocolate, oatmeal, coffee, licorice and a bit of a bitter finish to it all. One of my favorite beers in my younger days, I had a bottle last week that didn’t quite live up to my memories but was still better than 90% of the beers I’ve ever had.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with tan head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, coffee, oatmeal. Flavor is dark and roasted with chocolate and coffee notes. Finishes with slight hop bitterness and leaves a chocolate aftertaste.

Oct 29, 2008 Pours a very deep black with a nice creamy pillowy tan head. Aroma is very roasted malt with a little bit of nuttiness almost to a point of being smoked nuts. Chocolate dominates though. Flavor starts heavy on the milk chocolate. Just at the right time the cocoa bitterness rushes in and provides a great balance that holds through the finish. Medium body that is very easily drinkable. Great stout that doesn’t try to do too much. Just stays true to the style.

Oct 25, 2008 On tap at the flying saucer in KC. I’ve been waiting to rate this one for quite some time. Pours a straight black body with a creamy tan head that remains lacy. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, oatmeal, and lots of bitter earthy hops. Taste is very similar. Roasty and bitter, but extremely well balanced. Creamy and full bodied. Overall, another great Rogue brew. They balance the sweet chocolate malts very well with the abundance of hops. One of my all time favorite stouts.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours a silky black with a nice tan head. Little aroma, but I do smell roasted nuts and coffee. Taste is coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate, earthy bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel with just a bit more carbonation than I’d like in a stout, but I’m splitting hairs now. Damn good.

Oct 19, 2008 black color, thin tan head, nice lacing. aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, dry fruit... a touch of sweetness. flavor is roasted malt, dry, sour fruit, perhaps a touch of alcohol. also cofee and a touch of chocolate. full bodied, a raosty, bitter finish. one of rogue’s better offerings, i think. the sweetness of the chocolate malts is definitely offset by the coffee bitterness. a nice complex brew.
