Dec 1, 2007 Pour is a jet black with a nice tan creamy head. Aroma is hard to come by. Some chocolate i guess. Flavor is also difficult to find. Some roasted malts but not much else. Finish is very watery. Not a real good stout.

Nov 25, 2007 ON tap at the Yard House in Irvine. Looked the part. Aroma could have been more pronounced, but what was there was good. Flavor was a bit chalkywith some oatmeal sweetness, chocolate and coffee. Taste was good, but the chalkiness of the palate was a big detractor.

Nov 16, 2007 Poured a very dark brown with a thick foamy dark tan head that lasted with a little lacing. The aroma was not to strong with a little malty fragrance. It has a nice slightly creamy texture and a mild taste. Subtle flavors of chocolate and coffee. The flavor was milder than I had anticipated from the appearance of the beer in the glass. The flavor was fine and not heavy and filling a good beer to have several at one sitting.
