From a different bottle than the one pictured. A very fine example of the style, which is what I've come to expect from Goose Island. Coffee-black with a smooth, creamy tan head. Burnt bread pudding flavor that is slightly sweet to the taste, and rather thick on the tongue. Warm and pleasing, going down. I'd love to return to this in Wintertime.

Thanks to TATURBO for this sample!

bottled 10/26/2009.

reviewed from notes taken on 4/25/12.

6oz sample into snifter glass.

Appearance: oily black boided beer with a small brown ring on the beer.

Smell: coffee grounds, peanut shell and a saltiness. Odd combonation, but it smells decent.

Taste: surprisingly roasty with a mild sweetness from the malt profile. Just a hint of oat. Little bit of oxidation too.

Mouthfeel: thin body with low carbonation. Nice clean mouthfeel on this older stout.

Overall: To my surprise this beer was enjoyable with a little age on it. Its more roasty and i get no olive note as compared to when i have tried this beer fresh a long time ago.
