Bricks (15), USA Nov 8, 2009 Your run-of-the-mill solid stout. Not too bitter and not too overpowering. Similar to a Guinness. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Aug 18, 2009 On tap at the brewpub (05/26/09). Black in color with a decent sized tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and coffee.

Aroma: Coffee, oat, chocolate, roasty, light earthy hops
Appearance: Black color with a long lasting brown head
Flavor: Nice roasted malt flavor, flavors are similar to the nose, bit of hop in the finish, rich and flavorful
Palate: Long duration, full body, smooth and creamy
Overall Impression:
This was a really nice beer, nice complex nose, and a big taste that had enough hop balance to keep it from being overly malty. Really well done. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 25, 2009 on nitro-pours a retaining tan head that laces and black color with red. Aroma is sweet dark malt/oat-molasses. Taste is sweet dark malt/oat-molasses/burnt, hint of earthy hops. kramer (2407), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 2, 2009 On tap at brewpub. Pours a flat black body with a creamy brown nitro head. The nose is roasty and chocolaty with a minimal contribution of oats and coffee. The flavor is pretty solid, nice roast character without being over-roasted or bitter, cocoa powder, some earthy oat and a bit of nuttiness. Light bitterness on the finish. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel, the nitro does this Stout a lot of good, which I don’t always find to be the case. Overall, pretty good, and probably the best of the three that I had that night. ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 24, 2008 On tap at brewpub. Poured a deep black with thin dense tan head. Nice chocolate and roasted malt aroma . Taste is well balanced with coffee, cocoa, and roasted malts. It finishes dry with only slight bitterness. Swolf3 (252), Elkton, Maryland, USA Sep 6, 2008 Tap. Poured a nice Pitch black color with small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts along with chocolate. Taste was coffee, chocolate and malts. Overall a nice smooth stout which is easy to drink and enjoyable. BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Jun 15, 2008 Dark with big white head. Rich aroma that was equally tasty. A really nice stout. Well balanced and smooth, no roasty bitterness. Left nice lacing. Would love to try this again. A favorite at the brew fest. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008
