Sample at AleFest Columbus (06/27/09): Pours dark brownish-black with a thin light brown head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing. Light roasted malt and nuts in the nose. Medium, clean body with flavors of mild coffee, roasted malt and caramel. The finish is dry and roasty with a light coffee aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle: Poured a black brown wth a fast acting and retreating tan head. Aroma is soft coffee, roasted malt, and sweet sugar. Taste is sweet roasted/smoked malts, very hoppy on the backside of the tongue. Interesting take on a foreign stout from a NE state.

Second take on a Jamaican stout I’ve had from New England. Near black head with a thin head. Light coffee with a hint of nuttiness. The body has some thinness and some creaminess. It’s basically chocolatey with only a slight fruitiness. OK - almost like a light Baltic with its restrained fruitiness and slight saltiness. It’s got the lightness of a Jamaican stout though.

22oz bottle poured into a Melbourne Bros. glass. Pours black with a medium sized tan head. This is a very two faced beer. In both the flavor and aroma the beer has really good aspects, especially for the style. Aroma has aspects of tobacco, ash, roast, and a syrupy dark sweetness. However, the aroma also ends up a bit fecal, lightly plastic, and almost artificial. Taste is similarly full of rich sticky Jamaican stout flavors but again finishes with metal, and stripped flavors. I can range the scores depending on which aspects I choose to concentrate on. But in general the flavors at the end just seem to ruin all of it. This beer has a lot of potential but it needs some work as of now. Otherwise, average mouthfeel with carbonation.

Pours dark brown with amber edges and thin off white head. The aroma is roasty, earthy, muted coffee and faint burnt malts. The taste runs into burnt malts and coffee notes that become somewhat astringent. By midway milder notes of roasted malts and earthiness join in and move the experience to the finish.

Bottle from Sam’s Quick Shop. Pours black with a small head that quickly disappears. Spicy coffee aroma. Taste is rum, coffee and chocolate. Medium bodied and stick. Not bad.

Deep brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of nice roasted malt, some light coffee and chocolate scents come out as well. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with some nuts, coffee and chicory noticeable too. Afteraste shows some caramel, toffee and pit fruits in addition to the roasted malt. Overall, a nice offering and a good one in the series. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Clarendon (Arlington), Virginia on 25-December-2007.
