Jul 4, 2008 bottle. an excellent stout. pours a dark black with a good sized tan head. nice lacing throughout. Superb aroma - full of espresso, dark cherries, and chocolate. Smooth body overall - very soft on the sides and top... bitter up front and some dark cherry towards the back. Chocolate cake finish that leaves rather quickly, but leaves you wanting more.

Jul 6, 2008 bottle - my personal favorite for stouts. Pours jet black with a nice tan head. Aroma is complex with coffee/chocolate. Very smooth creamy body with a smokey taste. Just overall a great stout.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of the corner coffee shop. I’m not a huge coffee drinker, in fact I probably drink coffee about four times a year, but this aroma just feels like a lovely, refreshing foray into a local, homely coffee establishment, and I love it. Sure there’s probably some more specific flavors in there, but in this case it’s definitely about the forest, not the trees. Flavor largely continues in this vain but also with some nice bitter chocolate/chocolate with bittering hops. Appearance almost garnered the rare 5, but the head wasn’t quite as refined as I require for a 5, dissipated a bit too fast...it’s pretty, I’d give it a 4.5, I’m just rambling to logically justify to myself my intense internal pull away from the 5. Mouthfeel solid, nothing special, nothing wanting. Great brew.

Apr 29, 2009 Pours black with thin ruby highlights and a two finger rocky tan head that has great retention. Aroma is roast, oats, a little hardwood smoke, deark chocolate, light roast coffee, tobacco pipe smoke and roasted nuts. Flavor is lots of roast, roasted nuts, fantastic dark roast coffee, some char, hazelnut butter, toasted wood, dark caramel, light toffee, vanilla and some sweet straw. Finish is roast, toasted wood, cocoa, espresso, herbal and bitter hops. Palate is medium thickness, very smooth, creamy feel, nice light carbonation and a slightly oily finish. Fantastic stuff all around.

Aug 27, 2008 Nitro tap at Beer Bistro in Toronto. Silky smooth and creamy. Milk chocolate with burnt malt and then coffee. Almost meaty with the oats. Thick and sweet yet dry. Super.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours almost jet black with dark red/brown edges and a tan head that leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is wonderful with strong chocolate and espresso. Flavour is similar with a little bitterness plus hints of caramel and nuts. A little thinner in the mouth than I was expecting but still a great stout all round.
