Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep dark with brown edges and thin tan head. The aroma is chocolate, molasses and dark roasted malts. The taste is fully dark roastiness and chocolate. Wow. Those two notes play very well together and bring the flavor sensation to a peak. Toward the finish I get supportive notes of vanilla and molasses. Wow, great stuff.

Bottle: Poured a black with a red hue to the edges the head was tan color and very creamy. Aroma nice coffee bean. Taste is coffee bean up front and yet still has that smooth oat and chocolate finish.

Pours an opaque dark-chocolate brown with just a hint of a light tan head. Smoky aroma has quality coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and molasses tones plus hints of licorice and toffee. Mouth-filling flavor has a firm smoky overtone and molasses, quality coffee, chocolate, licorice and toffee flavors - delicious! Smooth yet lively texture leaves a smoky and fizzy finish. Recommended!

Dark mahogany brown pour, very tall light tan head, nice lacing. Sweet roasted malts aroma and initial taste, velvety smooth mouthfeel, some light molasses and near burnt toast, nice earthy and adequate hops presence. Very well crafted. Very smooth.

On tap at Ninkasi in Eugene. Brownish black. Full on milk chocolatey nose with balanced roasted malt character. Faint hops. Flavors are subtly sweet. Not over powering. Chocolate again, caramel and smooth hop finish.

22oz bottle -

Excellent stout for a cold winter’s evening. Aroma of chocolate cereal, caramel, paper and light mocha. Roasty notes seem to take a backseat to the chocolate character. Appearance is beautiful...black, frothy tan cap, 1" thick...long lasting. Flavor is just a plethora of chocolate and caramel, but nicely balanced with a earthy bitter angle. The sikly mouthfeel perfectly amplifies the chocolate notes and makes for a wonderful pint of beer. For less than $5, this is a great, great beer.

22 oz bomber from Pt Roberts (WA) Marketplace. Poured an inky black body under a smallish tan head. Aroma was of coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted malts. Taste was damned good, lots of the aforementioned nose treats also there to please the palate. Mouthfeel was quite alright for a stout. Smooth finish.
