22 oz bottle acquired via trade. Poured a deep black that lightened up a bit towards the end of the pour. Aroma was hefty roasted chocolate with some oatmeal, coffee, a bit of dark fruit and a surprisingly high earthy hop note. Flavor of roasted chocolate, oats, earthy hops, dark fruit and toffee. Very tasty beer, another highly enjoyable one from Three Floyds. Smooth as shit mouthfeel as well.

Sample from September 11, 2009 Beer Club Meeting. Muddy black/brown color. Definitely bottle conditioned. Smells like hops and smoke and... trees? Flavor hoppy, but wild. Best not to overdo the hops on this stout. Definitely smoked or roasted malt here. Thin, almost like it has a high alcohol content. Basically an IPA with roasted or crystal malts. Interesting. Good!

Dark black beer with a tan head that leaves some very nice lacing. Grassy hop and yeast aroma. Creme Flavored coffee with ops throughout. Carbonated with a yeasty finish to it.

Pours pitch black and completely opaque except for the slightest mahogany edge on the bottom of the glass when held to a light source. Frothy 2 finger beige head with excellent retention that very slowly fades into a lasting .5 finger cap that leaves chunky rings of lacing on my pint glass. Very roasty chocolate malt aroma with hints of chocolate, oatmeal, coffee bean, burnt toast, toffee, vanilla, subtle dark fruit notes and a nice hop profile. Chewy creamy full body with a very roasty bitter mouthfeel. Pretty hoppy up front adding a nice bitterness to the deep roasted coffee bean and burnt toast notes. Sweet chocolate maltiness with subtle dark fruit notes, vanilla, oatmeal, lactic creaminess, toffee and hazelnut. The bitterness from the hops and rosted notes is very prominent throughout, lasting through to a very dry finish. This beer is very complex but is still pretty quaffable with not a lot of alcohol heat.

Bottle. Mild coffee aroma. Dark brown colour. Very small light brown head. The flavour is slightly dry, but has some coffee, sweet liquorice. Hint of spice of some sort, probably from the hops.

22 oz. bottle from Delock’s Liquors in Munster, IN. Black pour with a tan head. Aroma of some dark roasted malt, smoke, and just a hint of raisin or some dark fruit. Very smoky roasted malt flavor as well as bitter chocolate. Well carbonated for a stout but not unpleasantly so. Very big flavor for such a low ABV beer. I am quite impressed with this offering.
