On tap at the brewpub on 7/22/12
Irresponsible tick #13
A) Deep, dark brown. One finger head of full foam. Very good retention; the head lasts a long time. Lots of lace, too.
S) Simple aroma of roasted/burnt coffee. Dark grains.
T) The taste has a weird, slyly burnt coffee taste. Extremely bitter cocoa.
M) Medium-full body. Silky smooth feel with low carbonation.
D) It's decent but works better with ice cream.

I got this growler through the Growlers Plus BIF. Poured into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours black with two fingers of thick, tan head. Alright retention with very nice lacing.
Smell: Mildly sweet and a bit roasty. Not a ton going on here.
Taste: Quite roasty and a little bitter up front. It smooths out in the middle, but the roast doesn't go away. There is a flavor that is kind of out of place here, perhaps citrus.
Mouthfeel: The body is just on the thick side. Smooth carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: Something was a little bit off with the flavor. Not bad, but I don't think I'll search it out again. Glad to have gotten to try it though!

Served in a pint glass at the brewpub.
The pour of this dark horse is thick black with a nice head of tan foam protruding from the top. The smell of this one was a little licorice and anise, with some hints of possibly oatmeal and dark fruit. The taste of this one was way more mellow than I was expecting and started off with a roasted flavor that combined with a watered down blast of anise and dark fruits. The mouthfeel of this was very watery and it was way smoother than I thought it would be. The drinkability is fairly good this one was a bit too watery for my tastes.
Definitely not one of my favorite beers, but then again I dig the big hop flavor compared to the dark stouts.
