Poured into my new Brooklyn Brewery Tulip on 5/6/11.

Pours an oil black with a beautiful frothy light brown head that dissipates faster then most stouts leaving little lacing on the glass. When swirled it coats the glass in an oily resin.

Smells of roasted malts and chocolate with a slight acidic coffee aroma in the background. Chocolate is very nice on the nose, great mix of bitter and sweet in this one.

Tastes of roasted malts and bittersweet dark chocolate. Acidic coffee flavor comes through at the end and in the after taste. This is well balanced.

Mouthfeel is very nice. A good tingling bite on the front and a moderate weight makes this easy to drink. Resin coats the mouth with a bitter acidic taste that makes you want to drink more.

Overall this is a really good stout. Well balanced taste with wonderful aromas and a mouthfeel that keeps you coming back for more. takes a hit for a lack of head retention and lacing but it does look pretty post pour before the head disappears. This is a god brew and look forward to having it in the future.
