Nov 2, 2007 Dark bronw almost black. A lot of coffee and roast malt. Nice and sweet yet dry. A little tartness to round it out.

Oct 19, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with beige head. The aroma is quite chocolatey with some medium roast coffee and a little bit of almond. The flavor starts off with a candy-bar chocolatey sweetness, but then some coffee bitterness mellows it out a little. Some nutty tones emerge in the middle, but it thins and gets a touch carbonic in the finish. Nice dry, ashy aftertaste, though.

Oct 14, 2007 Pours deep brown with a large beige head. Great roasted coffee aroma with hints of milk chocolate. Big roasted malt flavor up front. It fades away quickly, with a slight sourness on the tail. As short as the initial flavor is, the finish is long: nutty, bitter coffee. Almost espresso-ish. Actually, the finish is exactly like espresso. Good stuff.

Sep 25, 2007 The color was an amber/brown. The head was creamy, thin, and medium beige. The aroma was slightly roasty with hints of coffee and some malt. The aroma is pretty week overall for a stout. The flavor was better than the aroma. It was mostly roasty, coffee, and malt. The palate was nicely carbonated. The finish was roasty.

Sep 25, 2007 Interesting. I didn’t pick this up at a Whole Foods and, like the Cru d’Or, it doesn’t name Whole Foods anywhere on the bottle. Oh, welll... It pours a deep mahogany highlighted in red and has a moderate beige head. The aroma is roasted malt & barley and a bit of coffee and milk chocolate. A bit thin, but tasty. The chocolate becomes more prominent in the flavor and it finishes on a dry, coffee ground note. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Sep 19, 2007 Transluscent dark brown color. Small tan head. Medium coffeeish roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor lacks depth. More like a brown ale or porter than a stout. Long dry finish.
