Sep 26, 2009 HUGE thanks to Lumpy for this one! Very dark brown pour. Sweetbread aroma. Sweet scents of dark malts and caramel. Most intriguing taste. Has large hints of dark chocolate and coffee ground. Interesting but so tasty! As it warms there is a fair taste of raisins.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle from Tom. Thanks! I have wanted to get my hands on this one for a while. Black colored pour, roasted malts and coffee / chocolate in the nose. Taste is very dry and rich, toasted coffee notes and chocolate and dominant. No alcohol to be detected. Pretty damn good beer, still drinking very well despite being two years old. Thanks Tom.

Sep 6, 2009 Dark brown color, dark brown head. Molasses, dark chocolate, tobacco leafs, dark cherries, nutty rich nose. The roasted character isn’t so prominent in the mouth, more focused on baked cake, charcoal, dark chocolate, tobacco leafs, dark fruit. Slightly boozey and bitter. Molasses and dark chocolate lingering in the finish. Very rich, very warming, very complex, very wonderful.

Aug 23, 2009 From the Bottle at Dr Bill’s Tasting Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 10/10/2008
Bourbon aroma. Beige head. Black smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a bitter and warming malt finish.

Aug 22, 2009 Pours a very dark liquid with a very thin layer of mocha head/crown.
Smells fantastic, toffee, caramel, roasted malt, chocolate, cream, maybe a little vanilla.
Taste at first was solid, but unremarkable, but this leaves such a great chocolate and creamy aftertaste. Milky up front. Extremely good.
Mouth is medium to heavy in body, low to med in carbonation.
I hope to get another chance to try this great brew.

Aug 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Sweet malty but a hint grainy and slick, some lighter salty chocolate and grainy dried fruits. Not one of the better stouts out there.
