Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 14, 2009 So disappointed! Looked delicious as I poured it, but then while the flavors were okay it was just too thin. bhensonb (4187), Woodland, California, USA Aug 31, 2009 Bottle from ericandersnavy. Pours a pretty dark brown/black with a two-finger tan head. Aroma strongly suggests chocolate. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is dark toasted malt, chocolate, maybe vanilla. Ain’t no imperial stout, but it has lots of flavor. Finishes slightly chalky with mildly burnt malt and chocolate. Could be a little coffee. There’s some fresh flavor running through it. Like lactose. Pretty nice drink. Fortunate Houstonians. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 5, 2009 Nice esters and roast wafting through its nice, lasting head. The flavors are good and mix well, but just aren’t present enough overall. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA Jun 29, 2009 Bottle from texas blake. Opaque black with medium, creamy tan head. Sweet roasted malt, some smoke, rich chocolate, some sweet oxidation, nice. Sweet roast flavor, cherry oxidation, some smoke. Medium to light body, light carbonation. Overall a tasty beer, more of a smoked porter than a sweet stout imho. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Apr 4, 2009 Bottle from mar, thanks man! Dark brown pour, yellowish tan head. Aroma is very roasted and chocolate. Some tartness appears in the nose and continues into the tongue. Some biter chocolate and lots of roast on the tongue too. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Mar 22, 2009 12oz bottle-pours a rich tan head and deep red color. Aroma is dark fruit, medium/dark malt, some earthy hops. Taste is dark fruit, medium/dark malt-chocolate/ashy, some earthy hops, porter-ish. Thanks to armock for the trade with Joe-jwc215 and me. GAManiac (1123), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Mar 19, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of mhewes poured into a tulip.
Pours dark brown in the glass, not quite black, underneath a creamy tan head. Hangs on as a cap and leaves a bit of lacing on the way down.
The aroma has plenty of dark roasted malts but had a slight sour lactose twinge. There are hints of chocolate
The taste has a bit more chocolate sweetness than the aroma and less of the lactose sourness. There is plenty of dark roasted malts in the backbone before a slightly dry malted finish.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and almost thin for the style.
This is a decent, if pretty lightweight stout that’s drinkable but not too complex. Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2009 Very strong, bitter aftertaste that stays with you after the drink. Strong for a stout no doubt.
