THOUGHTS: Great stout. A little harsh on the bitterness. Very coffee like, just a shame that it was like older bitter coffee. A little hoppier than I prefer a regular stout to be, but that’s what make it unique, I guess.
TECHNICAL: Growler from the brewery. Poured a clear, dark brown that was nearly black in the glass with red highlights and a large, creamy, tan head that kept a nice blanket and left excellent lacing. The aroma was moderate roasted malt and strong coffee; moderate pine and citrus hops; cherry, tobacco and a hint of prune. The initial flavor was slightly sweet, lightly sour and bitter; while the finish was light to moderately sweet and rather bitter. There was roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, pine hops, less citrus hops than aroma, tobacco and a hint of cherry. The hops and coffee bitterness blended together. The medium body was creamy then dry with soft carbonation and a metallic, light to moderately astringent and slightly chalky finish.

May 14, 2008 On tap at the brewery! By far their best beer. Dark in color, big tan head. Flavor is fresh roasted malts. There is nothing better then a fresh stout. This hit the "spot". Simple but good stout!

Nov 7, 2006 On tap-at the brewery. Poured black w/no head. Had a little more hops than your typical stout. Not sweet like some, more of a smoked flavor. Somewhat dry, could have stood a little more sweetness or chocolate flavor. Did get some traces of coffee. Not bad, but left me wanting more, seemed a lillte bit off from being a really great stout.

Aug 18, 2006 Decent flavor. Little head. I would have liked nitrogenation but the brewery isn’t equipped for that. This is a run of the mill micro brew stout

Jul 19, 2006 Tap at the brewery. Opaque black with no head. Flavor is a nice, hoppy combo of chocolate and coffee flavors, with some sweetness evident. Finish is dry with more sweetness. Even my fiancee liked it!
