I had this beer as part of a 14 beer sampler at the Russian River Brew Pub on 14 July 2011. I thought this beer was a nice surprise from Russian River - this beer was a bit of an outlier inasmuch as it's not a Belgian or an IPA. It was quite good - a slightly above average Irish Stout in my opinion

a pleasant flavor and nice roasted coffee aroma. i think, though, that this beer is not big enough for nitrous...the end product is a tad too watery. other than that, it's a fairly textbook dry irish. not bad, not great.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is roasty with a coffee bean and chocolate combo that's incredibly interesting. Appearance is black, black and just a little more black with a thick tan head. Flavors are all melded together so well, it's nice to drink a stout that doesn't make you feel like you swallowed a watermelon. Creamy smooth with a nice bitter finish that reminded me a little of a good espresso.

Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Real Ale Festival. Eclipse black color. Small head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Slightly sweet. A medium bodied dry stout. Malts are chocolate and sweet. Slightly spicy hops. Nicely balanced. Very smooth. Nicely roasty and toasty. Small soft and round carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Had on cask at O’briens...This stout pours with a black body topped by a thick, tan head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and malty with a nice roasty note and notes of coffee with a touch of chocolate. The flavor is great. It’s sweet yet slightly bitter and malty with a nice mocha note and a slight roastiness. Very smooth, creamy and full bodied.
