Sep 8, 2009 On tap @ brewpub. Pours a deep black color with a foamy tan head. A slight sweetness lurks behind the otherwise hoppy (for the style) aroma. Light bodied and easy drinking, with hints of licorice and malt. Good bitter bite, not a bad offering.

Aug 30, 2009 Dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Sweet molasses and coffee syrup aroma. Like my wife. Concommitent taste. And attitude. Could be better. Like my marriage.

Feb 28, 2009 black body, biggest head in the brewery (meaning it actually has one), roasty chocolate flavors, dry and well balanced, certainly the best ale that I had at the brewery, very light on the palate while still maintaing a rich source of dark malt flavor, dry, a very nice stout indeed

Aug 26, 2007 Sampled at SFBC, June 2007. Muddy, opaque dark brown with a beige head. Nice roasty mocha-laden nose. Bold and flavorful. Full chocolate, rock-solid caramel sweetness, mocha, coffee, light soil and a hint of roastiness. Medium smooth body with mild, fine-beaded carbonation. My favorite of the SFBC’s beers I’ve sampled.

Oct 11, 2006 Enjoyed a few pints of this one at the brewpub on a trip back to San Francisco, CA in July of 06. This beer was the most enjoyable of the beers I sampled, and a good version of Irish/dry stout. This beer pours to a jet black color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is nice, with some good dark chocolate, coffee, and light roast aromas. The palate is soft and fat on the tongue with good dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted barley flavor. The beer finishes with more good dark malt and coffee flavor up front, then ends roasty, dry, and pleasingly bitter. A decent pint of stout.

Aug 17, 2004 no great surprise that the stout turned out to be this place´s best offering, but that´s not saying much. lightly lactic in a way that reminded me of sweetened german dark beers, chemicals and barbecue sauce
