Sep 2, 2009 Black as midnight. Thick chewy tan head that settles with a craters on the moon effect. A very nice nose of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and roasted notes. Flavor is dark chocolate with everything else secondary. A nice hop profile, coffee, and gobs of roasted notes. Figs, and plums. Finish was a bit thin. What a delightful stout!

Sep 1, 2009 Tap at Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a rich black with a thin tan head. Aroma is cofee, roasted malts, and a bit of oats. Notes of chocolate, sweet milk, and a bit of nuts stand out. On the palate it is creamy and smooth. THe taste really brings out a strong coffee flavor and it finish dry. A thought this was a tad bit watered down, but other than that, it was pretty good.

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a dark black with khaki head. Aroma of coffee, milk chocolate, nuts, malts. Not your run of the mill stout aroma. Very nice. Similar taste, a little thinner than I expected. Very smooth though, very drinkable. A session stout perhaps?

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a deep tan head that lazily floats in a dark brown body. Hints of cocoa, coffee, molasses, and agave. Flavor is roasted, coffee, cocoa. Dry finish. This reminds me of tequila in aroma and flavor, along with the typical stout sensations.

Aug 30, 2009 Draft sample at Dayton AleFest ’09. One of those beers I’ve seen around but not took the chance to try it. I’m glad I did though. Excellent aroma of oats and roasted malts. Looks great. Dark black with a thick brown head. Flavor is dark malts, oatmeal, coffee, with a very dry and moderately bitter finish. The body is a little thin but still creamy and smooth. Definitely one of my new favorite session stouts.
