Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is nice with lots of roasted malt and a bit of chocolate and maybe a bit of alcohol which is weird since this is only 4.2%. Flavor is again a nice roasted malt with a nice char left on the tongue. Mouthfeel is a bit thin but the roasted malt is as good as some of the higher rated stouts. Nice session stout.

Moving out of KS rate-a-poolza. 12oz bottle poured into a Big Eddy globe. BNo date but should be pretty fresh. Purchased out of fridge in store.
First rating for this beer’s since coming out of retirement . This is a surprisingly good beer for a very bad brewer. Aroma is slightly fumy and slightly sweet cocoa. A little bit of a baked goods thang going on. Flavor is lighter with just some dark malts and clean background behind it. Low bitterness, a bit of an empty finish. Nice beer, can drink this anytime.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is rich and yummy with molasses, rich roastiness, some smoky qualities and a bit of burnt malts. The taste is roasty to burnt with an under current of chocolate malts. There’s a mild malt astringency along with an earthy quality both coming together to add an extra dimension to the experience. Very nice stout.

Pitch black coloured body with a very nice dense light brown head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of deep roasted malt, sweet vanilla, oak, coffee and a bit of sour milk. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty assertiveness up front with a mellow tannic taste coupled with nuts, roasted malt and a bit of caramel. Aftertaste shows some nice lactic tastes and a complex mouthful - definitely drying though. Overall, a good and complex beer, my first from this brewer and definitely not my last! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased earlier today at Goebel Liquor in Wichita, Kansas on 25-March-2008.

Bottle at Flying Monkey Tasting 1.29.07 - Thanks for having us Robert! Pour is almost black, twinge of dark brown. Nice full deep tan head. Taste is all roast, burnt sugar and coffee. Somewhere between a stout and a porter, very nice.

Updated for the new release: This stuff is dark - I mean black, its really dark! Three finger, not four, head! But what a head, almost brown in color, foamy and pitted. Roast and coffee in the nose, a touch of brown sugar, there also might be some citric hops here. Light on the palate, with a roasted note, and paradoxically smooth from the big malt presence and biting from the fizzy carbonation, then a touch of twang. Finish is pretty hoppy, probably citric. This seems to match my original (below) rating of this beer from its previous incarnation, but it feels a touch less complex. It still seems like it could make a good stout float. I’m keeping the rating at 4, this is the kind of stout that suits me fine. Original beer for historical purposes: Nice deep black color and medium head. Medium but smooth carbonation and body. Rich coffeeish flavors. Malty and rich - a very good stout. I plan to try this with vanilla ice cream - it was a flavor match that just screamed out at me as I drank it.
