Based on notes from 2013. Had this from a firkin.
A: pours dark brown/black body with no real head and minimal lacing
S: smells like sweet rum with some hints of roasted notes; some dark chocolate notes
T: sweet taste; tastes like one of those chocolates with rum in it; sweet, roasted aftertaste
M: light bodied and pretty smooth; decent overall; somewhat silky smooth
D: nice mouthfeel and taste combo; pretty solid drinking beer, overall; mouthfeel was a little thin

Strong aroma of dried raisins and dried plums followed by some malt and chocolate. Taste was very similar, raisins dominates but could still pick up some malt and chocolate
Carbonation was too strong and took away overall but it did get better as it sat a while. Overall it was a decent stout

AROMA: Coffee
LOOK: Dark Black color. Medium Tan head.
TASTE: nothing special jumps out, toasted barley, small touches of coca, coffee.
FEEL: Thin for a stout.
Good flavor and enjoyable.
Rates well, but low on the totem pole for Stouts though.

Overall I wasn't a huge fan of this one. Some roasted malts, chocolate, and light cream, but over carbonated and just a bit bland. Wouldn't seek it out again.

6/6...pours dark brown bordering on black. Minimal foam. Roasted coffee nose. Taste is a firm coffee bean stout with an embedded dark fruit/raisin background. Sweetness pokes through right in the back. Virtually no carbonation, very smooth.
