"To me this is brewed in the mold of Our Special Ale which isn’t a bad thing. And it also means it will age well. And it did. A murky brown to almost black apperance. The aroma contains some ginger, cinammon, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor has a spice presence with a chocolate backbone. I get a little bit of grittiness on the palate. SPIT! Overall a nice beer.

"12.04.05 12oz bottle at HW open house, I think thanks to cornboy? Pours a cloudy, murky, dark brown with a foamy, thin, tan head. In fact, it’s a rare unattractive stout, how about that? The aroma and flavor are grapey (concorde/jelly/candy) and boozy. Plenty of dry and bitter roast and an astringency that seems to be filling the void where, just perhaps, there was once a pleasant spice. Molasses bitterness as well, but not sweetness. No longer spicy, rather a bit sour, old, and leathery. Still, worth the taste."

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:21:59 AM)
"Very strong roasted, very much like espresso. The spicing isn''t too much, noticable but not overwhelming. Appearance is good except the head is a tiny bit fizzy. Not up to par with the Expedition or the Kalamazoo stout, but not bad."

"Black brew with a creamy tan head. There is something strange going on here. I''m not sure if it''s the ginger or what but something is throwing this brew off.As it warms I''m starting to get the mentholatum that others mentioned. Very odd brew."

"Dark black color, small head. Chocolaty aroma. Dark roasted malts. Subtly spiced, with nutmeg and ginger. Earthy and slightly oaky. Full bodied. Good flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Nice beer."
