Grabbed a pint at the Old City Philadelphia location while waiting for the Meatmen’s set at the Khyber. Black body, white one finger head, coffee, chocolate and roasted malts round out this Sweet Stout. Dutch Hercules would approve.

Sampler at Princeton. A dark, flat, brown color with a tan thick, great head. A very heavy weight on the tongue, with musky chocolate, coffee, and nut flavors and aroma. Very hoppy. A great stout.

On tap at the Downtown Philly location. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of coffee (originally I was getting lighter coffee but as I drank more and smelled more, the coffee got stronger in the aromas), roast, lactose, and some chocolate. Tastes of coffee, lactose, cream, caramel, roast, and light chocolate. Lacing left on the glass.

On tap at the 2007 GABF: Nearly opaque dark mahogany with a small creamy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and chocolate with a hint of espresso. Body starts fairly thin with a lightly caramel maltiness and some smooth mild dark chocolate and coffee. Very drinkable but needs more body.
