May 4, 2008 Tasted at the 5th Annual (2008) Triple Rock Firkin Fest. This dry stout pours a medium black color from the firkin. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is chocolate and coffee, with a touch of burnt malt. A light to medium bodied stout. The malts are cocoa, toffee and coffee. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. Dry and crisp with a nice malt backbone. The soft carbonation and the firkin style really works well for this beer. Very tasty. It was my favorite of the day. Mouthfeel was a touch thin. Finish was dry and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

May 25, 2008 Updated: May 29, 2008On tap at the Sac Brewfest, this poured like Guinness, cascade and all! The nose is slightly smokey and malt. The flavor was extremely smooth with a touch of roasted malt and chocolate. Smooth on the palate with an excellent, clean finish. Glad I get to be thde 10th rating and put a score to it. :-)

Jan 2, 2004 I found this stout to be a little on the watery side. Nice dark color with a really creamy flavor. All in all, very drinkable.

May 27, 2009 Kind of a bright, roasted, fruity aroma with a dark brown color, and a nice, thick, tan head. The body is a little thin and flavor muted, but licorice comes through well, with a strong roasted and bitter finish. A nice stout, but not a real memorable one.
