May 31, 2009 The beer pours with a big tight tan head with a deep almost black color, when held up to the light there is a deep ruby hue. The aroma is good oats, chocolate, chocolate malt, a good roastyness and overall kind of sweet smelling, but nothing over the top. The flavor is drier and bitterer with some good coffee and a little berry like fruitiness, the beer is abounding with earthy hops. This is a very solid stout.

Apr 7, 2009 Darkest brown with a big fluffy tan head. Nice retention and decent lacing. Aromas of cocoa powder, graham, brownie mix, iced coffee. Flavor is mainly chocolate malts. Lightly acidic and roasty. Not as sweet as the aroma, but there’s a dusting of cocoa and dark chocolate. Sort of light bodied with sharp carbonation. A very solid stout.

Dec 31, 2006 I like this stout. I wonder if this recipe is the same as Old No. 38, but organic. This beer is light, but favorable. There is a nice balance between coffee, chocolate, and spicy hops.

Feb 11, 2009 Pours a dark brown with an off-white and loosely-bubbled head. Aroma is sweet and not too conspicuous. Tastes very sweet indeed, nothing like a dry stout and verging on porter in terms of the lack of roasted notes. Body is thin and watery with a touch of creaminess and a fine carbonation. This was a bit of a let-down.

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. Poured a translucent brown with a foamy beige head. Aromas of hershey syrup, grain, and slightly burnt brown sugar and caramel. Flavor sweet and slightly tart-- notes of dark toasted grainy bread, some old coffee, with light molasses. Mild roasty bitterness at the end. A bit thin tasting, though my palate for dry stout has probably been ruined by impys. Not terrible, but there are better choices.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of toasted, dark chocolate and mild coffee, moderate herbs and resin for the hops, light earth for the yeast and a hint of tar. Head is large, rocky, off-white with fair lacing and is fully lasting. Color is clear dark brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then the long finish is lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, watery, with a lively carbonation and has a fairly dry finish. A nice toasty tasting Dry Stout.

Jan 7, 2009 Split bottle with Butters. Pours a tan head with a dark brown body. Nice lacing. Smells roasted and tastes that way too. Slight hint of bitterness and I swear I taste strawberries.

Jan 7, 2009 Pretty nice beer. Brought this back with me from Miami Beach this past summer and it suffered not. Me either. Four of us sampling and agreeing it’s pretty good. Good head and lace; lovely dark rich brown with dark cherry highlights. Vanilla, chocolate and dark malt aroma. Flavor’s about the same. Fine carbonation. Good quaff. Satisfying. Session beer. Great finish.
