[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/4/2008 3:36:28 PM)
"A nice beer here, that is...who knows how old. Received in a trade with someone. Forgot exactly who sent it, but thanks. The beer was nice. As nice as a dry stout can be. Granted, it's not one of my all-time favorite style, but this was still very nice. An aroma of coffe, in fact it damned near dominates the nose. Some light aroma of dark chocolate is barely detectable. The flavor of chocolate and coffee dominate as well. A bit of a puckering twang was also picked up, perhaps due to the malts. "

"9.24.04 12oz bottle thanks to Goldtwins. Pours pitch brown, little halo of lingering head. Strong coffee notes on nose, not much choco, but a very nice coffee smell. Flavor is roasty and burnt with hints of peat/earth. Mild coffee finish. Good, light, coating body. Nice complexity and all-around subtlty with this one...it’s a shame about Dogwood. Thanks for the rarified treat, Larry!"

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:22:03 AM)
"Opaque black with some ruby notes around the edges which needed very bright light to see. Thick tan creamy foam head never got even close to dissipating even after 20 minutes. Roasty malt with some burnt character on the nose. Faint citric hops lighten the scent a bit. Creamy chocolate up front in the flavor, followed by a sharp bitterness which fades into a lingering bitterness with coffee hints. Mouthfeel is a little thin for a good stout."

"Poured an opaque black color with a small, light tan head that left some lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla beans, sweet chocolate, light roast, and some faint fruitiness. Taste of chocolate, roast, some smoke, with dried fruits... it had a dry finish."
