MrChopin (620), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 3, 2008 Pours black with long-lived, cream-colored head. Scent is sweet chocolate, licorice, and fruit. The flavor is also sweet, almost sickly, with roasted oats and chocolate and fruit. A great balance is throughout the nose and flavor. The creamy palate perfectly compliments the well-rounded smooth taste. A sweet finish to a very nice beer. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 2, 2008 Sampled at Pints for Pets. Pours a dark brown color with a light creamy head. The nose is sort of grainy and roasted, but has a bit of wet dog. Lots of oatmeal in the taste. The flavor is ok, but I was definitely disappointed. A sort of bittersweet molasses flavor. A decent body, but I thought it was a little thin. highibus (421), Mill Creek, Washington, USA Jun 1, 2008 A deep black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roated malt and biscuit. Flavor is a touch of sweetness with that roasted malt. A nice finish, good beer. sleepylopes (313), New York, USA May 31, 2008 nice and dark with a rich tan head. slightly sweet with a rich coffee and mapo nose. some kind of fruit and nut combo with a touch of lacing and body out the wazoo. For wat it is it is nearly flawless. thill25 (216), Orlando, Florida, USA May 30, 2008 12 oz bottle...poured very dark brown w/ a frothy tan head that yielded some lacing. The nose was malt, light coffee, toasted almonds. The flavors were light coffee, toasted nuts, cocoa. The palate was great. Not a heavy beer, with a quick, dry "tosted nut" flavor. Excellent! jdmhawk (31), Bettendorf, Iowa, USA May 29, 2008 aroma is roasted malt. pours almost black with tan head. flavor is also roasty and malty with some oats. tedovertu (259), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA May 29, 2008 Bottle, Roasted malty aroma with a plum tinge. Fizzy head, off white in color. Fully diminishing head. Blackish amber color. Sweet initial flavor, medium body with a lively carbonation. Definitely over priced for what you get. Goose island or Bell’s will serve you much better. JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland May 28, 2008 Dark red colour. Small head. A quite good stout Some sweetness and chocolate taste.. Also some creaminess.
