Thanks to hopdog...
Appears a dark brown, nearing black with a small tan head that quickly fades into a small, mild cap. Spotty streaks of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of cocoa, cream, ripe black grapes, vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with more of a plum flavor coming through and a very, very mild trace of the oaky vanilla.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, with fruity grapes resounding.

This was the Friday Firken tap, so I got to try this next to the regular Stony Man Stout. Here are my notes for that brew:
A leathery, dark brown body with good head that left a myriad of lacings. Coffee and cocoa malts dominate the smell, pushing out hops but they are a rather bland smelling malt. A very smooth brew as the malts are the noticable taste, but the coffee and cocoa malts here arjust bland. Nothing of real significance, I would drink this again but it wouldn't be my first choice.
This is an improvment. I hae noted here that the head on the beer is two-finger and frothy and left severe lacings. On top of having a blacker, thicker-looking body, the chocolate malts are much more prevelant and the beer has a darker, chocolate taste. It is also smoother and creamy, which the other one wasn't. If you can catch this, drink it.

A: pours a deep murky brown almost black with off white head.
S: not very strong but a lot going on. a little bit of caramel malt and alcohol zing, followed with a slight pine scent mixed with an faint peaty woody smell.
T:a little raisin and roasted malt with a bitter boozy woody finish.
M: farily carbonated and thin with a very boozy ending
D: my favorite beer while I was there, could have had a couple, decent brew

Big thanks to AK for this little beast.
Had a nice fruity/alcohol/chocolate smell to it. Something quite busy none the less. Taste was similar, but a little more on the alochol, which is fine by me. It had many different levels of taste and smell intertwined, which made it quick complex. All in all a fun beer to try though. I wasn't really sure what to expect, seeing what the reviews were for the original style of this beer, coupled with the aged style. Definately something worth a try if you have a chance to.
