Jan 7, 2008 Growler shared at fordest’s tasting. Very good considering it was a couple of weeks old. Great tasting stout.

Jan 7, 2008 Growler shared with wetherel. Lots of roasty chcolate aromas off this dark dark pour with a pretty decent tan head. Flavors were more chocolate and a bitter coffee finish. Pretty darn tasty. Thanks john, and thanks to Craig too.

Jan 5, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 2008Growler from cbkshubert. Thanks Craig! Had the growler sitting in the back of my refrigerator for two weeks before opening it at fordest’s tasting. Tried at fordest’s tasting with ibrew2or3, fordest, padrefan98, toncatcher, and others.
The growler was filled to the rim, and tightly capped and wrapped extensively with electrical tape. The beer still had plenty of carbonation, but a beer like this doesn’t need any. Heavy body and pitch black color with small bubble 1 finger tan head. Caramel sweet roasty malty goodness. Very delicious.

Jan 3, 2008 Nice dark roasted elements but not too bitter. Surprisingly light on the palate for the ABV (and that is not a criticism.) Nice coffee and licorice flavors.

Dec 28, 2007 Growler at argo0’s xmas party, thanks kmweaver! Pours black with medium tan head. Very malty aroma, earthy, coffee and chocolate. Flavor is quite similar, reminds me of North Coast Rasputin, but less coffee and sweeter. Some alcohol in aftertaste. Very nice beer.

Dec 22, 2007 Many thanks to Craig for the hand-bottled bomber! Poured clear, deeper brown with a short, swirly cap of tan head.. medium-viscosity with lower carbonation. The aroma picked up somewhat singed dark chocolate, darker fruits (with black currants well-represented), and molasses, giving a warm, sweet impression.. some simple sugars apparent, but I found this really enjoyable! The flavor had a well-roasted caramel, dark chocolate, and molasses core with a bit of coffee bitterness and alcohol warmth at the back-end.. some brighter piney bitterness, caramel, and black currants on the sticky and long finish. Medium-plus bodied with lighter carbonation on the palate.. sticky and warm on the back with a dry herbal twist. This was a really good beer!

Dec 18, 2007 This didn’t seem like an imperial. The beer is black and quite thick, with low carbonation. The simple aroma has coffee and some malt, it does smell good. Flavor has more intense coffee, and medium sweet roasted malt. A great, thick palate, which is probably the best quality of this beer. A well done coffee stout. Thanks to Skyview for sharing.

Dec 17, 2007 Hand bottled from cbkshubert. BIG THANKYOU!This poured big black body, tight tan head,. lots of chocolate and coffee in the nose. Taste was full body, coffee, and loads of chocolate. Vanilla lingers after the swallow. Loved this. Can only imagine how great this is fresh. A new major fav.
