estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours jet black with a nice tan head, receding slowly. Good lacing. Nose of coffee, with hints of banana esters and diacetyl. Moderately thin body, coffee/chocolate, not very sweet, some buttery/banana notes, harsh astringent finish ruins the experience. Disappointing to say the least. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 27, 2007 A nice stout. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Not incredibly strong, but decent. Pour was was a dark black with a nice 3 finger tan head that stayed the whole drink. Taste was great. Strong coffee taste with hints of vanilla and chocolate in the middle. Semi dry bitter aftertaste. Didn’t care much for their other beers, but this was very good. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Nov 26, 2007 Chocolate and vanilla on the nose. Pours dark brown, black with a thin tan head. Very smooth flavor, creamy, chocolate, with hints of coffee. My favorite of the 3 we sampled from this brewery. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Nov 25, 2007 bottle from matt7215 in a trade. Pours a dark brown/black with thick light brown head which lingered for most of the beer. Good lacing. Aroma is smokey like a cigarette butt and roasted malts. Taste is a very pleasant coffee, roasted malt and oatmeal. Mouthfeel is medium and smooth. Loved this stout! sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 24, 2007 12oz bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto for around $2. Pours black with a rich brown head. Strong aroma of malt and chocolate. First taste is rich and thick and slides down the throat. Decent lacing. Taste is full yet smooth. Yum.
alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Nov 24, 2007 12 oz. bottle new to Cincinnati. Pours black with a creamy light brown head. The aroma is roasted malt, some coffee, and a smooth sweet oatmeal. The flavor is similar to the nose with the sweetness coming out a bit more and combining with the nice roasted malts and coffee. A little bitter chocolate in the finish. Medium bodied, creamy smooth mouthfeel. I’m glad someone brought this to Cincy. AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 23, 2007 Pours a very dark brown, pretty much black in color. Smell is roasted coffee and some oatmeal. Very nice. Plenty of webby lacing on side of the glass. Taste is mostly the same as the nose, but much more astringent coffee in the taste. Pretty bitter in the mouthfeel. Overall a pretty good stout. kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Nov 23, 2007 Draught at the beer bistro. Dark, dark brown with a creamy tan head. Mild roast aroma with a potent char roast flavor. Full creamy palate. A great blend of sweet coffee characteristics and dry roastedness leave a dry bitterness.
