Jul 7, 2007 Pours dark with a ruby hue around the edge of the glass, and a tan head that disappears. Aroma is very similar to Sam Smith’s Imperial, probably due to the roasted barley. Flavor is quite similar to Sam Smith’s as well, but the beer is a little more carbonated and slightly drier, with the roasted barley appearing along with notes of coffee and dark chocolate.

Jul 7, 2007 [Bottle, thanks Guerde] Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Chocolate, malt, coffee and liquorice in the aroma. Taste is coffee, banana and roasted malt that comes on nicely at the end. Low bitterness. My main problem with this beer is how thin it is.

Jun 28, 2007 Updated: Jul 28, 200712 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark reddish black with a thick foamy brown head. Typical stout coffee aroma is there, but also accented by some sweet vinious notes. Very interesting aroma. Burnt flavors and subtle roasted malt flavors are prominent. Very light sourness with some earthy notes, too. Mouthfeel is atypical for a stout - light, bubbly. 7/28 re-rate - Had this again last night. Not a stout fan, but I really enjoyed this beer. Not sweet or cloying, a good balance of flavors.

Jun 1, 2007 Bottle from Ryan. Thanks. Intersting beer. Pours out a very dark color with a tan head. I about overflowed my glass from the head that came off this beer. Roasted and coffee smelling beer. Taste is similar, with quite a bit of carbonation. Not bad, but it could use alot less carbonation.

May 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours rich black with deep red highlights. Aggressive pour yields a rich creamy brown two finger head. Nice nose: roasted malt. Cookies and cream ice cream. Slightly sweet. Decent carbonation and relatively creamy on the palate. Basic stout flavors. Starts rich and creamy (malt and toffee). Chocolate in the middle and ends with a pleasant note of dry coffee. Unassuming but quite quaffable stout.

May 30, 2007 Pours black with almost no head. Very little carbonation. Aroma is quite good. Burnt malts, cocoa, light coffee, and roasted nuts. Flavor is full roasted malts and nuts, raw coffee, and some ripened fruits (maybe bananna). Mouthfeel seemed just a tad thin but still is an overall really good stout.
