Bottle 50/156 thanks to a trade with St.Fun. Pours with a brown body and a minimal head, but the body stains the glass. Aroma of cabernet wine, oak, spiciness, fudge/chocolate, earthy, light sourness, nutshells and vanilla. Taste is sour, wet wood, a bit thin, vanilla, raspberry and cinnamon. Thin body, yet a creamy mouthfeel. Tannic.

Another great one thanks to markwise. Pours clear mahogany with copper edges and brief tan head. The aroma is sweet rich molasses, black strap molasses, chocolate, coffee, burnt malts and a touch of caramel. The taste is a bit thin but it’s also rich with molasses, coffee, caramel, burnt malts and some malt roastiness. This is very nice and ends with the addition of a touch of dry roastiness.

Sampled at the Hopsnobbery Collective Stout tasting on 01/23/10. Bottle #5/156. Pours glossy black with a medium and rocky beige head that recedes to nothing steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Espresso and roasted malt in the nose, along with a touch of vanilla. Rich, smooth body with flavors of coffee, toasted malt and vanilla. Cinnamon flavor is very faint. The finish is roasty with a sweet mild coffee aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
