Courtesy of James at Tampa Pours House. Pours deep darkness with mocha head. The aroma has burnt malts, spicy black licorice and caramel covered chocolate brownie. The taste is a pleasing mix of burnt malts, sweet chocolate brownie, black licorice and vague hop bitterness. Nice brew.

Bottle at ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting. Black with a tan head. Espresso coffee aroma. Coffee is a little harsh and a little uncultured. Decent hop on end. Pretty decent overall though.

22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Opaque black stout, no real head. Minerally malt and a little coffee on the nose. Dry palate. Rich dark malt - pretty hard roasted. Some dark chocolate. Too bitter and dry for me.

A dark stout with a thin moka head. In aroma, a nice chocolate with moka coffee notes, vinous and pleasant. In mouth, a good intense stout with bitter chocolate, loads of torrefied coffee beans, good bitterness, toasted coffee beans, British hops, sustained bitterness, notes of molasses and figs. Rich and toasty stout. Served from a bomber at Cisco Brewpub, Logan Airport, Nov. 15 2009.

22oz bottle–pours a rich brown head and black color. Aroma is sweet dark malt-molasses/chocolate, wood, secondary pine hops. Taste is ashy/roasty, dark malt-molasses/chocolate/coffee, wood, secondary earthy/acidity pine hops. Mid-palate the sweetness comes thru but is still dominated by ashy and acidic. Full body.

Bottle. Pours with a small khaki head over an extremely dark brown body. Aroma of chocolate, leather, plums, soil, earthy hops, and a bit of smoke. Reminds me a bit of Great Divide’s Yeti in the aroma. Taste is smokey, earthy, hoppy and full of very bitter chocolate, coffee and roast. Water like mouthfeel, medium to light carbonation.

A very well hopped stout. Heavily carbonated for the style, it exploded from the bottle. Black color. Flavor and aroma of heavily roasted malt with some coffee and chocolate. Average but good enough. No notable flaws.

Small brown head. Opaque black body, even looking into the sun. Burnt milky caramel and chocolate aroma with hoppy notes. Thinnish wooden chocolate taste with burnt sooty citric and pine needle notes. Sharpish edgy mouthfeel. Dry sooty taste lingers. Good, but not outstanding. (0.75l bottle at glouglouburp’s.)
