Bottle: Pours a dark, chocolate brown with a large tan head. Aroma is roasty, coffee, and light cocoa notes. Flavor becomes mostly coffee and roast, very light chocolate. Hints of bitters in the tail. Decent creaminess and overall score, but not better than average.

Nice aroma of dark malt and chocolate, maybe, just maybe, coffee. Dark brown/black color with no lasting head. Better than medium mouthfeel, mild carbonation, creamy roasted malt, and a finish that has a chocolately coating in the mouth. Seems to be coffee in there somewhere, but ... The finish comes out rather dry, and there is some bitter on the tongue edges. A very nice stout.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with next to no head. The aroma is very roasted combined with notes of oatmeal, malt, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, as well as notes of hard roasted coffee, dark bitter chocolate, oatmeal, and a bit of oranges. The end is dry and quite roasted.

Bottle from trade with cpkschubert; Nose of coffee, chocolate, and a little smoke and tartness; Opaque walnut with a huge tan head that laces heavily as it recedes; flavor is of tart coffee, with roasty and chocolate notes, and a small hop finish.

2005 bottle from FlacoAlto, thanks man! Brown head is small and quickly vanishing. A light coffee-with-a-lot-of-cream color. Body is dark-purple/black with some deep burnt umber tinges. Low carbonation and too slick to provide lacing. Smells roasty, earthy, dry. Light dark, dark roast notes mixed with fruit are apparent right away. Prunes and rich barley with some hearty oats. Flavor is 110% raisins and earthy barley with prunes. Lots of pruniness! Wow this is a refreshing, modest gravity stout. It’s nice to sneak in a non-Imperial stout every once and a while! Light hops bitterness mixed with the dry roast. Earthy, crunchy, almost granola-like flavors. Currants and a peanut brittle note hit. Retronasal prunes and lots of vinousness. All in a good balance. Really big, soft bubbles pop in the mouth. Light bitterness carried on the big, easygoing bubbles. This gives it a slightly watery feel, but it’s hardly much to complain about. No alcohol ever noted. Hops, roast, dark fruits for days. . . A real easy sipper and sort of reminds me of a fresh, warm St. Ambroise Oatmeal stout minus the coffee. Very roasty though, sweet and malty, with an almost salty edge at the end. Yes!
