beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Mar 15, 2007 Very nice chocolatie stout. Rich roasty dark chocolate flavors with a great balance. Smooth on the palate with a good body to it. Pours dark borwn witha small tan head. Very well built stout balancing a good chocolate character with a lightly hoppy bitter finish. JCB (1713), Durham, North Carolina, USA Mar 14, 2007 Bottle given to me by a buddy - thanks David! North Coast certainly do stouts well, as we all know, but this one is probably the least of their offerings. It’s still quite tasty, with a vigorous body, big chocolate malts, and a pleasant roastiness. But nothing particularly memorable. hopscotch (5437), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Mar 2, 2007 Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Clear, dark mahogany ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Nutty, creamy milk chocolate nose. Nice roast. Chocolaty, toasty flavor. Balanced well... not sweet, but not burnt nor bitter. Medium-bodied with a skim milk mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, coffee, lightly bitter finish. crazyvin (1245), New York, USA Feb 23, 2007 Pretty good! It poured a brownish-black hue, no head, aroma was of mild coffee malts and cocoa. Flavor was a mocha like blend rich and smooth similar notes through out. it was rather light on the tounge, otherwise a geat beer zamco17 (134), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA Feb 19, 2007 pours a great deep ruby. smells amazing-bittersweet chocolate. perfect carbonation. taste is all chocolate coffee. a great stout here. SDalkoholic (1186), Chula Vista, California, USA Feb 12, 2007 Creates a soft pillow of a head, Color is a dark brown that has light still able to shine through. Aroma is a little roasty of malt and coffee but the flavor is more stronger serving of these two flavors. Creamy and easily quaffable. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 7, 2007 12 oz. bottle - first ’organic’ bear that i’ve tried; lacked taste and flavor; very thin and flat when poured into glass illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 18, 2007 Bottle from Astor Liquors in Laurel, MD.
Pours deep brown with a thick fizzy beige head. Aroma of coffee, dark roast, and chocolate milk. Medium thin palate. Flavor of mild and smooth roasted coffee beans, with a hint of unsweetened chocolate. Finish has a very soft bitterness with hints of caramel and raisen. Not bad. I liked that it was packed with flavor without being thick and chewy.
