May 28, 2008 Pours pitch black with a dense one inch mocha head that dissipates quickly leaving a little bit of lacing. The first thing I noticed in the smell was the surprisingly evident alcohol notes, very boozy aroma. There is also strong dark fruit (raisins mainly), chocolate and oat scents as well. Decadent taste full of dark chocolate, dark fruit and roasted malts. The alcohol makes itself known in the taste as well with slight bitterness of roasted coffee and oatmeal in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is heavy, oily and thick. It just coats your mouth with the chocolate malts and leaves an alcohol burn for good measure. This is a huge stout that I would definitely categorize as a sipper or a dessert beer. It’s a good but not great stout in my book.

May 22, 2008 Thanks for sharing this bottle Alex (sick_boy282). Pours with a black body topped by a thin, tan head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a creamy note, some bitter hops and a touch of vanilla. Full bodied, smooth and creamy.

May 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of licorice, roasted malt, coffee, alcohol, and a hint of oats. Taste is the same as aroma with the oats being a little more prominent. Full creamy mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and very smooth alcohol. Very good.

May 21, 2008 Pours a dark inky black-brown with a lacy light brown head. Aromas of milk chocolate, espresso, and toasted oats. The flavor is quite powerful, starting with chocolate covered oats, caramelized sugar, and espresso and ending with a powerful bitter dry finish. This beer has a Smooth warming finish that does a respectable job of concealing the alcohol, making this beer dangerous. A fine stout with some real power behind it.

May 21, 2008 This is a well balanced, huge beer. Black pour. Dark chocolate liqueur aroma. Chocolaty flavor with the high alcohol content almost totally imperceivable, but enough hops on the finish to give it nice structure.

May 21, 2008 Thanks sliffy: Holy booze factory!! This is a potent beer. Pours wickedly dark, aroma of roasted chocolate malts, scalded milk, oatmeal, and booze. Flavor is much the same; the oats lend a dryness to this beer, but it is very full-bodied with a silky dark chocolate-ness to it. Very, very warm finish.

May 20, 2008 Pours a very dark black chocolate with a small, light brown head. Delicious chocolate, oatmeal aroma, very sweet and rich. Taste is similarly delicious with some dark fruits at first. Then all out rich, dark chocolate, with a very creamy oatmeal cookie body. The sweetness lingers with just a little alcohol on the long finish.

May 20, 2008 Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of malt, oats, and coffee. Good roasted malt and chocolate/coffee flavors. Great creamy mouthfeel, but the alcohol is a bit too noticeable.
