Aug 10, 2009 On draft at Taco Mac, Decatur GA. Pours an opaque, very dark brown with ring of brown head. Roast, chocolate, sweet vanilla. Lots of cherry juice. A little thin on the palate. One of the best beer names ever!

Aug 7, 2009 Courtesy GodofThunder. Pours a black body with a foamy, tan colored head that leaves nice rings of lacing around the glass. The aroma shows dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a dose of pine resin from the hops. THe flavor follows with the rich chocolate and caramel malts, roasted coffee, and the piney hops. The hop presence seems to keep all the sweetness in check while adding nice bitterness. A full, substantial mouthfeel with subtle carbonation leading to a nice bittersweet chocolate finish. This is a nice, solid stout.

Aug 7, 2009 One liter flip-cap bottle from GAManiac. Wow! Thanks, man!
Pours a deep, rich chocolate black with an intense aroma of slightly sour chocolate powder, sweet red wine, cherry, and alcohol. A head of dark cream sits atop the beer, leaving a nice latticework of Victorian lace patterns as it subsides. Flavor is a rush of sweet licorice chocolate, brownie batter, coffee, alcohol, dark fruit- all tempered by a noticeable hops presence to keep it from being too cloying. Nice, rich mouthfeel that leaves a chalky, coffee-like finish on the tongue. A fine, fine stout; shoulda saved it for a tasting but it looked too good to wait!

Jul 8, 2009 Bottle sample at Muckfest 2009 Day 1. Darkest brown pour with a thin light brown head. Cereal malt aroma with a bit of chocolate and oat. Equally cerealy flavor with chocolate and coffee and a bit of hop in the finish. Best I can figure is most of the hop kind of died off and that’s where the grainy character came from. Probably better fresh.

Jun 5, 2009 (Sample Date: 5/2/2009 Source:Other) Bottle courtesy of Kinz. Lots of roast and dark caramelized sugars in aroma. Clear black with a small tan head. Roast chocolate and caramelized sugars dominate flavor with supporting grassy floral hops that balance well. Dry finish with slight alcohol warming.
