A black appearance with a moderate tan head. The aroma is rather mild and contains some chocolate, oatmeal, and a hint of coffee. The flavor is slightly bitter with some chocolate, oatmeal, dark fruit. Doesn’t seem to live up to the hype of the past but still a solid stout.

Oct 6, 2008 Beautiful black pour with a finger of dark milk chocolate head and nice retention. Nice roasty aroma, smooth oats and chocolate. Body is smooth but not overly heavy. Very roasty body finishes with a strong malt bitterness nice coffee and chocolate notes.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle thanks to Suttree. Thick pour, very large and thick, creamy brown head. Black body. Great, no, amazing lacing and very good retention. Very flowery aroma with milk chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, brown sugar, molassas, and pie crust. Smells like fresh cookies with some fresh mocha coffee. Taste is nice coffee, some chocolate and nuts, that refines over the every long (45 seconds or so) duration into hazelnuts. Good stuff. Creamy mouthfeel, but feels somewhat light boddied. Easy to drink, light carbonation.

Oct 5, 2008 Um....I’m gonna assume that this was a bad bottle and try again later. Super bitter and metallic. Pretty much undrinkable.
