Feb 1, 2009 Updated: Feb 2, 2009Brown/Black pour. 2 finger light brown head. smells, well, like a stout. taste pretty dang good, Extremely smooth, and a nice thick creamy mouthfeel. Sweet, but not even close to being sickly. Taste like dark roasted coffee in the end for me. Hops shows up just enough to balance this one out. Nice Brew! i really like this one...

does not count  Jan 31, 2009 Poured from a 1 Pt. 2.7 fl oz. bottle. Looks coffee brown, with a low frothy cream-colored head. The aroma has a strong coffee overtone with some malt and smokiness. Smoother tasting that expected, with just the right carbonation. There is a pleasant domimance of oatmeal towards the end, which really seems to lighten the whole taste. I really enjoyed this stout.

Jan 31, 2009 Simply awesome! I had one at a bar about a year ago and it tasted slightly off. I gave it another chance the other night and was blown away. I’m assuming the one I had at the bar was just old. Pours a lovely thick, lingering head. Nice oat-y/nutty finish. Nearly a perfect stout.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle. Heavy toasted and coffee aromas for the malt, light resin and dough for the hops and yeast, with hints of wood and brown sugar. Head is large, creamy, off-white with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is dark brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes lightly sweet and acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, watery but almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. Well rounded and rich in flavor and aroma, a nice Stout.
